Marjorie Sewell Cautley, Landscape Architect for the Motor Age

Meer over het boek

Marjorie Sewell Cautley (1891-1954) was the first woman landscape architect to design state parks, to plan the landscape of a federally funded housing project, and to lecture in a university city planning department. This absorbing biography weaves the story of a woman who transcended both social and professional boundaries to create humane living spaces at one of the most transformative times in American history--the introduction of the automobile into mainstream public life.
