To nie jest muza. Rola klientki w domu Rietveld Schröder
This text is a translation into Polish of an essay that is a case study of Rietveld Schröder House, an important work of modern architecture in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The text was originally published as “Not a Muse: The Client’s Role at the Rietveld Schröder House”, in: The Sex of Architecture, eds. D. Agrest, P. Conway, L.K. Weisman, New York 1996, pp. 217–232 and its different version was republished as a chapter in Friedman’s book Women an…
American Glamour 2.0
In this article, I argue that the layered notion of glamour, a term familiar from mid-twentieth-century film, architecture and popular culture, has increasing relevance in today’s hyperpublic world of social media, internet image-construction, and market segmentation. The creation and consumption of Hollywood images and slick advertising copy has long involved processes of narrative construction, projection, performance, and self-assessment that …
Hiding in Plain Sight
“The Scarab” (1907), a sprawling Shingle-style house in Wellesley, Massachusetts, was built by poet and professor Katharine Lee Bates as a home for herself and her partner Katharine Coman, a social economist and labor activist. Both women had lived and taught at Wellesley College, founded as a single-sex institution for higher education in 1870, for over a quarter of a century. In their new home they adapted many of its hybrid spaces for living a…

Women and the Making of the Modern House
If you want a book about architecture which is informative, provocative, offers new paradigms on the way we describe architecture, is both soundly academic, and as compelling to read as a good novel, look no further. --Kester Ratenbury In this groundbreaking book, Alice T. Friedman investigates how women patrons of architecture were essential catalysts for innovation in domestic architectural design. By looking at such iconic houses as Hollyhock …

Portrait of a Marriage
The Influence of Humanism on the Education of Girls and Boys in Tudor England
IN RECENT YEARS, statistics for Elizabethan and Stuart literacy levels, compiled by David Cressy, have challenged the familiar image of the period as a golden age of educational opportunity.' These figures can serve as the foundation for a new analysis of social mobility in the period, particularly among those below the level of the gentry. Yet the most striking figure among them is the one which is consistently the highest of all, regardless of …
Patronage and the Production of Tombs in London and the Provinces
A presentation drawing and wall monument (1951) at Wollaton, Notts., erected in memory of Sir Henry Willoughby, can be associated with the Southwark stone-carving workshops on the basis of stylistic evidence. This casts new light on the patronage of Sir Francis Willoughby, builder of Wollaton Hall (1588), who commissioned the monument, and emphasizes the importance of London as a centre of high-quality works of art. Finally, the description of a …
