"This collection of essays by leaders in landscape architecture addresses the ways that gender has influenced the history, design practice and perception of landscapes. It highlights women's relation to landscape architecture, presents the professional efforts in the landscape realm, examines both the perception and experience of landscapes, and speculates on ways to re-imagine gender and the landscape"-- Provided by publisher.
