Great Brit architects can't include a Woman?!
Thought the Beeb had got over its obsession with male GENIUS? Think again. The BBC series "The Brits Who Built the Modern World,” is encapsulated by a photo of Michael Hopkins, Norman Foster, Richard Rogers, Nicholas Grimshaw, and Terry Farrel. Who had the honour of being photoshopped out? Patty Hopkins - the woman in PINK - CO-founder of Hopkins Architects in the 1970s. How can this be? you ask, in 2014. Yup, someone up there in power is keeping their mysogynist myth going. Ah, Photoshop; it let them drain the pink from Patty's jacket and give a bit to each of the guys' faces. Cue Feminist Fury! The Broads Love women architects who built the modern world: Beeb - give us a programme about them!
