Half a century ago a dozen Chicago women working in a male-dominated profession launched, “Chicago Women in Architecture.” Among the issues the group discussed in those early years were lack of recognition for their part in what are often team projects, the challenge of working in a demanding profession while raising children and inequitable pay. The Chicago Architecture Center currently has an exhibit called “Disrupters,” that tells the story of women in architecture. Reset goes on a field trip with architecture guru and resident real estate journalist for Crain's Chicago Dennis Rodkins to explore the buildings downtown that were designed by women. Beginning at this exhibit they find along the way legendary Chicago architect Carol Ross Barney, an original member of Chicago Women in Architecture to discuss her experience and why women have a prominent place in architecture.
