ABSTRACT
At the beginning of the next decade of the twenty-first century, the global pandemic, social unrests, economic crises, and natural disasters eclipse the world map, and people turn to architecture and history to understand the reality of the present moment in order to navigate and persevere through the challenges that people face. Architecture has often played a pivotal role in helping people process moments of crisis. The chronologies capture the critical extent to which life has been sustained under extreme circumstances, yet they consistently lack structured representations of women’s leadership. Archival research provides rare information on the context of reading. Collected data is correlated to shape a significant cohort of women, their aspirations, and their impact on the culture and the future of the built environment. The proposed margins, as in any theoretical assumption, are schematic and engage overlaps of timeframes and territories.
