Norma M. Sklarek in a boardroom meeting at Gruen Associates, LA – 1960s. One of America’s most famous female architects, she became a company director in 1966. Despite this, many of her projects – such as the American Embassy in Tokyo – were fully credited to male architect César Pelli. [1062×799]

   I’m glad I’m not her. I would have lost my mind if I put in all that work only for the credit to go to someone else. She’s much stronger than me

   It is said that talent is evenly distributed, but opportunity is not. Can you imagine what the world would be like if every person born in the last thousand years had an opportunity to achieve their potential? That is a world I would like to live in.

   What a disgrace that Mr. Pelli had the audacity to claim her work as his.

   Did architects actually provide useful work in the 60s?
