This book offers a history of feminist architecture by revisiting the theories of several American thinkers and theorists (Malusina Fay Pierce, Mary Livermore, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, etc.) who postulated as early as the 19th century that the assumption of full domestic work by women was one of the fundamental causes of gender inequality. The Great Domestic Revolution reveals the innovative plans and visionary strategies of these women who contributed to challenging our way of conceiving modern housing and cities in order to accompany women towards greater economic independence and thus enable social equality. In this book, Dolores Hayden analyzes the utopian and pragmatic sources of the domestic reorganization programs proposed in the 19th century by certain feminists. This history of an intellectual tradition little known in France offers a new interpretation of the history of feminism, housing and urban planning.
