DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nThe recent explosion of interest in the work of fem
 ale architects does not fully capture the impact that woman have had on th
 e shaping of the built environment. Documenting their activity as journali
 sts\, entrepreneurs\, and institution builders\, as well as extending the 
 established scholarship on women’s patronage\, enhances our ability to map
  their influence. Between 1920 and 1970\, for instance\, women carved out 
 successful careers importing modern architecture and design into the Unite
 d States\, as well as disseminating it domestically and exporting it inter
 nationally. Reconstructing how they marketed modernism\, often to other wo
 men\, challenges our understanding of how tastes change and shifts our att
 ention away from a focus on form towards issues such as identity formation
  and social distinction.\n\n \n\nBio\n\nKathleen James-Chakraborty is Prof
 essor of Art History at University College Dublin. She also holds a 2021-2

 018). Her current research is funded by a five-year Advanced Grant from th
 e European Research Council. She was the recipient of the 2018 Gold Medal
