From: Storming the Old Boys’ Citadel

The introduction provides a brief history of architecture in the United States and Canada, the evolution of the laws, regulations, and standards that shaped modern architecture. It then provides a brief introduction to Mother Joseph of the Sacred Heart and Jennie Louise Blanchard Bethune, who were women who challenged the heavily male guarded citadel of the architectural profession.
