Happy International Women’s Day 2021!
There’s no doubt that female leaders within the field needs visibility. I know that hearing about and connecting with other female leaders with diverse backgrounds in the industry has been an important part of developing my career and my confidence as a professional.
I’ve put together a short list of resources championing women architects below. There’s online magazines, podcasts and stats. But first, here’s a thought: If we all reached out to at least one woman on Women’s Day and shared ideas on how to advance the role of women in our field, just imagine the impact we could make.
