womenwilldominate: Do you have a real life story about females taking charge, excelling, and demonstrating the future is female? Submit it to me and I may feature it here. =) CITIES WILL BECOME WOMEN’S PURVIEWIn the September 16 2018 New York times… in the Arts and Leisure Section called Part 3 “The New Season” there is a good article about the rise of women in architecture. I am a male architect and I have very clearly seen the change in gender over the last twenty or so years. In my class there was only one woman architect student out of a class of 40. The Times article indicated that nearly half of all students now are female across America and females make up 40% of those taking the licensing exam. The CEO of the firm I use to work for is now a women and more than 50% of the architects are female while the receptionist is male. The article went on to describe many of the latest large significant projects women are designing and how the number of offices is growing that are run by females.Architecture is a good profession for any one but for women it fits well with women’s natural skill in art, sculpture, beauty and textures. The culture within most firms is progressive treating employees with dignity and equality at least from my experience. It is my prediction that as women continue to gain more of a “foot hold” into this profession it is bound to accelerate. In the future females will most likely be the dominate gender in the architectural field.EDITOR’S NOTE: As with most prestigious professions, all things being equal, the cream rises to the top. Is it any wonder then that women are beginning to excel and surpass men in yet another male dominated bastion? Archaeology, veterinary sciences, medical professions, legal professions all have one thing in common - male dominance has been shattered. Toppled under the weight of ambitious, gifted and hard working women as they pass men by. -- source link
