The field of landscape architecture (LA) is often described as progressive when considering the rolewomen played in the inception and development of the profession, with some even describing it as'emancipatory'2. Although this has been anecdotally understood for many years, it is only recentlythat there has been a trend towards examining the role of women in the profession. This has largelytaken the form of historical biography with a spotlight being shone on the lives and work of a fewremarkable women. And yet, as Shenker3 and Riley4 both show, this approach can only take us sofar. There is a growing awareness of the need to shift our intellectual enquiry towards a moremultiplicitous framework of women in the history of LA that takes into account social, political andideological agendas5. This research proposal would seek to go someway toward addressing this gapand in so doing, breathe new life and understanding into the discipline. This not only has thepotential to change our view on history and the industry's place within Britain's larger historicalnarrative, but it could also inform current institutional structures, ideologies and practices too.

风景园林(LA)领域经常被描述为进步的，当考虑到女性在该职业的创立和发展中所扮演的角色时，一些人甚至将其描述为“解放”2。尽管人们多年来一直传闻这一点，但直到最近，才出现了审视女性在该职业中的角色的趋势。这主要是以历史传记的形式，将聚光灯集中在几位杰出女性的生活和工作上。然而，正如申克3和里利4都表明的那样，这种方法只能带我们走得更远。人们越来越意识到，有必要将我们的智力调查转向洛杉矶历史上更多元化的妇女框架，考虑到社会、政治和思想议程5。这项研究提案将寻求以某种方式解决这一差距，从而为该学科注入新的活力和理解。这不仅有可能改变我们对历史的看法，以及该行业在英国更广泛的历史叙事中的地位，还可能为当前的制度结构、意识形态和实践提供信息。
