"Tempest in the Architectural Teapot"
by Diana Rice
The New York Times, May 21, 1922 (heavily excerpted):

Is man making his last stand against woman? ...  Will the bars of the
Architectural League go down before the recent onslaught of feminity? ......

The news reports set out with more or less details of H. Van Buren Magonigle,
the architect, had characterized as pinhead organizations those which
excluded women from membership and how Arthur Crisp, the mural painter, had
made this exclusion the subject of comparisons between monkey and women
hardly flattering to the latter....

"Let the ladies in, say I.  The more the merrier." said Harrie T. Lindeberg.
"I never go the League meetings now, but I'm sure I should always go if the
ladies were there"....

"You know" added Mr. [Bertram] Goodhue "it would be pretty hard for a woman
to sweat at a gang of men."....

"Much of the talk about women being pushed into obscure corners and not given
the best light for their drafting boards is true" said a professional woman
recently....

From the first women to whom the American Institute of Architects opened its
doors, Miss Katherine Cotheal Budd, there came but one direction for the
aspiring young student:  "Hard work, more hard work, and then more hard work."
