ROSERO ANAZCO, Verónica Alexandra  and  FREIRE SILVA, María José. The Women Pioneers of Ecuadorian Architecture. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.3, e71227.  Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2020v28n371227.

The research "Women Pioneers of Ecuadorian Architecture" proposes a historical review to recognize and make visible the women who have contributed to architecture in Ecuador until 1980. Relevant profiles were searched through the review of archives of the first architecture faculties of the country and specialized local bibliography, complementing quantitative data with interviews. The feminist point of view addressed by the study questions the profession not only from a gender perspective, but also from its established structures that highlight only tangible contributions. Through a critical discussion, this text claims the intellectual production of the first generation of women architects, who mainly distinguished in academia, history, and theory.

Keywords : Architecture; Feminism; Ecuador; 20th Century Women Pioneers; History.
