Women
This guidebook is the first architectural-design guide devoted specifically to women's works in Europe. It offers itineraries through four cities: Barcelona (Spain), Lisbon (Portugal), Paris (France), Turin (Italy), and two countries: The Netherlands and Slovenia. The selection of works showcase different types of works created or recreated by women in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries: residential and industrial buildings, educational, religious, commercial and transport buildings, power stations, medical and care centres, cinemas, theatres, museums, offices and banks, sports halls and stadiums, playgrounds and gardens. Each itinerary is preceded by a description of the urban historical context and its transformations. Each work is identified with the name in English and the national language, the author(s) of the work, year(s) of creation, address and photo. All geographical sections are completed by a short biographical article on women pioneers: Maria Keil (1914-2012), Charlotte Perriand (1903-1999), Ada Bursi (1906-1996), Margaret Kropholler (1891-1966), Gizela Suklje (1909-1994). This publication is the result of the Women's creativity since the Modern Movement - MoMoWo project, that considers an issue of contemporary cultural, social and economic importance from a European and interdisciplinary perspective namely women's achievements in the design professions. These achievements are in fields including architecture, civil engineering, urban planning, landscape design, interior design, furniture and furnishing design some of which are still perceived as traditionally male professions. The contents of this book are the results of academic research that was based on archives, bibliographic sources and 'in situ', in order to analyse building structures, techniques and materials. Also avaiblable as open-access publication on the website of MoMoWo.- Creator

Spaces of women's cinema
The author explores issues of space, place, time and gender in feminist filmmaking through an examination of films released from 1936 to 2014 by women filmmakers. Beginning from questions about space itself and the way it has been gendered, she asks how representation functions in relation to space and time, and how this, too, is gendered, before moving to an exploration of how such questions might be considered in relation to women's filmmaking. She analyses how these issues have been dealt with by women filmmakers in wilderness, city, interior and border spaces, and in doubled spaces, or the landscapes of adaptation.- Creator

Flâneuse
First published: 2016. First American edition: 2017. A flâneuse is a determined, resourceful individual attuned to the creative potential of the city. In this part cultural book, part memoir, the author takes us on a tour to New York, Paris, Venice, Tokyo, and London, and describes what urban settings have meant to women, charting through literature, art, history, and film. We are shown the paths beaten by such flâneuses as the cross-dressing nineteenth-century novelist George Sand, the Parisian artist Sophie Calle, the wartime correspondent Martha Gellhorn, and the writer Jean Rhys.- Creator
