Today, August 26, is Women’s Equality Day, celebrating when women secured the right to vote in 1920. Since then, women have made tremendous strides in achieving equal rights—but there’s still work to be done in our field. Thankfully, there are many groups out there striving to make landscape architecture a more equitable profession for women. We’d like to recognize them and thank them for all they’ve done. 

Making landscape architecture a more equitable profession will not only help diversify our industry, but it will also re-center marginalized voices and introduce new perspectives into our designs. And thanks to the hard work of these organizations, and many others, we’re well on our way to achieving that.
