    This document discusses gender and space, how spaces are defined by social norms and power structures. It examines how public spaces have traditionally been dominated by men while private spaces are often associated with women. The workplace is also addressed, noting traditional divisions between male managers with closed offices and female clerical workers with open floor plans. Finally, the history of women in architecture is summarized, from amateur roles in the 17th-18th centuries to gaining legal rights to enter the profession in the 19th century.
