...— Sokolina, Anna, ed. The Routledge Companion to Women in Architecture (New York: Routledge, 2021)— Working on this anthology has been a true joy of international collaboration and synergy. Most our authors, editors, and reviewers are long-term CAA and SAH members, recipients of many awards also contributing on various SAH and CAA Committees. I am sincerely grateful to my colleagues, now good friends, also for the creative editing support of chapters written by outstanding internationals contributors. At 2022 CAA Annual Conference this volume was featured among Top Ten Books on architecture published by Routledge. Now we received the Nomination for the SAH 2023 Alice Davis Hitchcock Book Award! — At conferences we introduced our discoveries in sessions and key-talks. SAH Fellows and members of the Board have supported the book from 2018 to 2021 with graceful reviews, some 6 excerpts are published on Routledge website open to all audiences. — The idea of this publication was conceived in conversations with colleagues at the International Archive of Women in Architecture at Virginia Tech. I am serving on the IAWA Board since 2002 when the IAWA founder and my dear friend and colleague Prof. Emerita Milka Bliznakov invited my election there as the first honorary advisor after the SAH Richmond Conference. In the book there are chapters by the prominent IAWA President Prof. Donna Dunay, and the IAWA Director Prof. Paola Zellner-Bassett uncovering IAWA’s amazing holdings. — Remarkable collections and museums across continents have provided us with copyright revelations, and deans of architecture schools, for instance Pratt’s much admired Dean Dr. Harriett Harriss, have generously contributed their chapters. Members of Beverly Willis Architecture Foundation have published their chapter on her trailblazing work in our book: ACSA Distinguished Prof. Kathryn H. Anthony and her wonderful associate. There are chapters introducing eye-opening discoveries and women’s diverse and broader professional narratives from Mongolia, Japan, Turkey, Israel, Europe, our sisters from both Americas and the African continent. — The Architectural Association in London organized our inaugural vibrant discussion a week after our book saw the light. — We went through two rounds of peer review by renowned academics, and two rounds of publisher’s editorial peer review, and the contents has been transformed, from my initial proposal of 2-volumes to 1-volume edition, many vital chapters introducing a variety of discoveries have been planned for the next edition. I wish we would have more space for publishing all proposed chapters, almost 60 we received, instead of 29. Due to formatting and time constrains we were not able to also include chapters by brilliant colleagues from Ukraine, South-Africa, and another Russian scholar. All our contributors have now developed their own books and award-winning programs.
