Book Synopsis
Cornelia Hahn Oberlander is one of the most important landscape architects of the twentieth century, yet despite her lasting influence, few outside the field know her name. Susan Herrington draws on archival research, site analyses, and numerous interviews with Oberlander and her collaborators to offer the first biography of this adventurous and influential landscape architect.

Trade Review
“This is a wonderful book about a remarkable woman. Susan Herrington deftly embeds the life and career of Cornelia Oberlander into the trajectory of modern landscape architecture, giving her her rightful place among leading modern designers. Oberlander is a trailblazer for women and for landscape architecture, always addressing Canada’s distinct cultures and landscapes, where she is now a national treasure.” —Kenneth Helphand, University of Oregon, author of Defiant Gardens: Making Gardens in Wartime.
