| Abstract |
Women architects are rarely mentioned in the established architectural histories of the first half of the twentieth century in Australia. For example, in Max Freeland's 'Architecture in Australia', not one woman's name is cited in the index. In his 'The Making of a Profession', there is not one woman pictured among the sixty photographs of individuals and groups.' Yet women have been present in the Australian architectural profession in every capacity since the early twentieth century: as student and draftsperson through to chief designer and partner, as teacher and writer, and also working in the related fields of town planning, landscape architecture and interior design. Admittedly in 1950, registered women architects constituted just 2.7% of all architects in Australia. However, this small percentage indicates the considerable number of seventy-eight qualified women architects who were actively maintaining their registration across the country.
