58 pages : illustrations, facsimiles, portraits ; 28 cm

"The contributions of women architects in Canada have rarely been acknowledged or examined. Yet from the earliest days of European settlement in the Pacific Northwest, women have been designing and building notable architectural works. Constructing Careers documents the inspiring lives of five of the first practicing women architects in British Columbia - from the impressive building program undertaken by the nineteenth-century missionary nun Mother Joseph, to the influential modernist designs of Catherine Chard Wisnicki, one hundred years later."--BOOK JACKET.
