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
