Feminism And Modern Architecture
Feminist theory as it relates to architecture has forged the way for the rediscovery of such female architects as Truus Schröder-Schräder and Eileen Gray.

Architects like Le Corbusier and Adolf Loos have also had their architecture reexamined through feminist theory.
