With the second feminist wave, architectural historians began studying the first generations of women architects inaugurating a new field of interest. Nowadays, the number of publications on women’s history in architecture is broad and diverse. Nevertheless, there are no defined teaching courses in this field in the curriculum of Spanish schools of architecture. This manuscript presents an innovative experience in this field carried out in an optional course of the fifth year of the Degree in Studies on Architecture. The aim of the course has been to introduce students to feminist thinking and to reflect on how diverse Anglo-Saxon research has produced discourses on their intertwine with the history of architecture.References
