Women Building Socialism

Women Building Socialism

Women Building Socialism is a website and collaborative research project that aims to explore “the role and position of women in architecture in non-liberal socialist contexts during the twentieth century. These contexts include Russia and the Soviet Union before the Second World War; as well as the countries of the Soviet bloc, including the GDR, and the countries that remained outside of the bloc but nevertheless declared their adherence to socialism, such as Yugoslavia and China, during the Cold War. Challenging the received vision of socialist architecture as a male field, [they] bring a feminist perspective into this sub-field of architectural history, from which it has so far been missing.”
