G: in good condition with rubbed and chipped dust jacket in clear protective wraps. Previous owner's inscription to fep. 190mm x 130mm (7" x 5"). 285pp. Elizabeth Denby (1894 1965) was a pioneering British housing reformer whose work reshaped inter-war and post-war social housing. Denby collaborated with modernists like Maxwell Fry on influential projects such as Kensal House and Sassoon House, championing affordable, well-designed homes for working-class families. She was first woman to address the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1936. She was, however, long overlooked because not formally trained as an architect and worked mainly as a consultant and researcher. In the male-dominated profession of the early 20th century, contributions from women, especially those working outside formal architectural practice, were often minimised or uncredited.
