In steadfast recognition of undervalued women in architecture and allied fields, the national women’s advocacy group Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation has announced the debut episode and third season of their acclaimed audio documentary series on pioneering women in design, New Angle: Voice. Recounting the Brooklyn Museum’s groundbreaking exhibition “Women in American Architecture” and companion book conceived in 1977 by architect, critic and educator Susana Torre with backing from the Architectural League of New York, the premiere episode breaks the mold of the prior 10 episodes of individual profiles.
The influential 1970s exhibition, which laid the groundwork for two major initiatives of the Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation (BWAF) — the website Pioneering Women of American Architecture, and the award-winning audio documentary series — eventually traveled from New York across the United States and to the Netherlands.
