Overview

Around the beginning of the twentieth century, women began to claim Berlin as their own, expressing a vision of the German capital that embraced their feminine modernity, both culturally and architecturally. Women located their lives and made their presence felt in the streets and institutions of this dynamic metropolis. From residences to restaurants, schools to exhibition halls, a visible network of women's spaces arose to accommodate changing patterns of life and work.

Reviews

Despina Stratigakos takes us on a fascinating journey into a largely forgotten city at the heart of early 20th century metropolitan Berlin. Both imaginary and physical, A Women's Berlin is a space of agency in which women architects, designers, and patrons shaped not only a network of new institutions in the city, but also a modern female subjectivity and urban identity for themselves as public citizens. --Eve Blau, Harvard University
