The “First Seminar on Women and Modern Architecture” addresses a field that in recent years has gained unusual relevance and has aroused widespread interest: the contribution that a group of women, acting from different fields, made to modern architecture so that it whatever it was; a revolutionary and transformative phenomenon that affected the lives of a multitude of modern women and men. The seminar seeks to contribute to the historical truth, propose a more complete explanation of the architectural phenomenon, but above all it tries to bring to the forefront of the discussion a series of actions that did not receive critical judgment from their peers at the time. nor have they occupied a clear or clear position in historiography, because those who built the official narrative of what happened tended to ignore them, due to malicious intent or carelessness.
