The Green Arcade     1680 Market Street at Gough in SF

Enamored with Place: As Woman + As Architect is Wendy Bertrand’s thought-provoking memoir.  A licensed architect, Bertrand received her degree from UC Berkeley in 1972, a time when only 3 percent of architects were female. Her book is a prime example of “social history,” chronicling the experiences of a working single mother on a mission to thrive in her chosen field—both personally and professionally—despite all odds. It is especially interesting because of Bertrand’s acute awareness of social impact in building design, and her lifelong commitment to social equity within her profession. www.thegreenarcade.com
