Abstract

A number of moves in the seventies had meant that more women than ever before were in architecture schools and by the eighties they were flooding into the profession.  Over the decade their numbers quadrupled (as measured by registration) as women moved from the exception to the norm.  But their impact was variable.  This paper will try to tease out that impact from women-only practices to support groups to what they published to moves away from the profession.
