Finding Women Architects in "Where?d You Go, Bernadette""
Maria Semple?s 2012 novel, Where?d You Go, Bernadette", is an addictive, high-octane, hilarious summer read about a retired architect in Seattle entering the next phase of her career. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it has resonated with women architects. One texted me hours after picking up the book recently: ?I?ve read about ? of Bernadette in one sitting. I?ve squealed out loud with laughter. I?ve bitten my lip. I am currently reading about Bernadette on the job site getting disrespected by a subcontractor. Someone IS seeing me/us. It?s buried in this book.?
