Thaisa Way is Assistant Professor in the College of Built Environments at the University of Washington.
The story of American women as practitioners in the field of landscape design is one that has not been told before as completely as it is here. Way writes not just about women landscape designers but very insightfully about the landscape profession coming of age in the early twentieth century through the education and practices of both men and women. Unbounded Practice is an original and valuable work. - Elizabeth Barlow Rogers, president of the Foundation for Landscape Studies and author of Landscape Design: A Cultural and Architectural History ""Unbounded Practice will transform the accepted history of American landscape architecture as a narrative of successive male designers making autonomous design innovations. Thaisa Way provides a nuanced account of the diverse ways in which women entered and succeeded in landscape architecture praxis. The collective contributions of this wide-ranging practice are impressive and often embodied early ecological practices and social agendas intended to foster a sense of community."" - David Streatfield, University of Washington
