A Documentation Citation of Merit in the Book category is given to Women Architects at Work: Making American Modernism (Princeton University Press, 2025), authored by Mary Anne Hunting and Kevin D. Murphy. In this publication, the subject of the women’s contributions to Modern American architecture and design is approached comprehensively and thematically, filling a gap in the literature. It brings elusive period publications, historic preservation documentation, college and university archives, personal collections, and other materials to bear to tell the stories of the women who spearheaded the establishment and growth of modernism across the United States. Enriched by gorgeous photographs and illustrations throughout, Women Architects at Work provides a conceptual framework for understanding how women functioned in a critical moment of professional and social transformation, answering its challenges with a humanistic sensitivity to the needs of institutions, communities, and diverse families—grounding their work in an ethic of necessary collaboration.
