My Take
Julia Morgan deserves to be a household name. Born in 1872, trained at Berkeley, she designed over 700 buildings across California in an era when the field was almost entirely closed to women. Hearst Castle alone would secure her legacy, yet she never seemed interested in fame, just in doing the work well, again and again. The 2008 California Hall of Fame induction and AIA Gold Medal came as overdue recognition. What moves me is the quiet steadiness of her career: no self-promotion, just an extraordinary body of work that speaks entirely for itself.
