Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Out of print, rare. Some discoloration on front & back cover Glue bound, off-set printed, 94 pages Color & Black & white. Heresies: A Feminist Publication on Art and Politics ran from 1977 to 1993, producing 27 issues that together constitute a primary archive of second-wave feminist intellectual and cultural life. Each issue was assembled by a different rotating editorial collective, a structural commitment that was itself a political act, deliberately resisting hierarchy and the assumed authority of expertise. A landmark document of feminist cultural politics, this issue of the collectively produced journal Heresies marshals architects, historians, and activists to interrogate how the built environment encodes and enforces gender inequality. Edited by a seven-woman team including architects Susana Torre and Leslie Kanes Weisman, its contents range from polemics dismantling the skyscraper-versus-home binary, to Noel Phyllis Birkby's search for a "Herspace" rooted in women's vernacular building, to critical readings of the domestic interior by Joan Greenbaum and Carol Barkin, to case studies in public housing, race, and poverty. Historian Gwendolyn Wright and an early Sharon E. Sutton - later author of When Ivory Towers Were Black- are among the contributors. More than four decades on, with women still comprising only 27% of licensed U.S. architects and 17% of firm principals despite near-parity in architecture schools, its central arguments- about whose bodies, needs, and labor the built environment is designed to serve- remain disturbingly current. Issue #11 Editorial Collective: Barbara Marks, Jane C. McGroarty, Deborah Nevins, Gail Price, Cynthia Rock, Susana Torre, Leslie Kanes Weisman. Key Contributors: Gwendolyn Wright (historian), Noel Phyllis Birkby, Joan Greenbaum, Carol Barkin, Margrit Kennedy, Sharon E. Sutton, Nunzia Rondanini, Pat Therese Francis.
