Women in Landscape Architecture: A Historical Gap in Latin America and Mexico
Keywords:
landscape architects, feminist methodology, feminist genealogy, Latin AmericaAbstract
This reflection is an exploratory study that makes a brief approach from feminist theory and methodology to the intellectual and empirical work of women landscape architects who preceded us, many who are not among us, others who are still active and do not usually figure in the history and theory of the discipline. From the genealogy, inspiring landscape architects who marked the profession are recognized, from a journey that recognizes the precursors in different geographical contexts until reaching Latin America and especially Mexico. In the latter, in addition to the gender issue, the class condition marks the guidelines of the lack of recognition of landscape architects in the spaces of political and academic representation, marked by the capitalist patriarchal structure that perpetuates in the disciplines of design.
