The field of landscape architecture (LA) is often described as progressive when considering the rolewomen played in the inception and development of the profession, with some even describing it as'emancipatory'2. Although this has been anecdotally understood for many years, it is only recentlythat there has been a trend towards examining the role of women in the profession. This has largelytaken the form of historical biography with a spotlight being shone on the lives and work of a fewremarkable women. And yet, as Shenker3 and Riley4 both show, this approach can only take us sofar. There is a growing awareness of the need to shift our intellectual enquiry towards a moremultiplicitous framework of women in the history of LA that takes into account social, political andideological agendas5. This research proposal would seek to go someway toward addressing this gapand in so doing, breathe new life and understanding into the discipline. This not only has thepotential to change our view on history and the industry's place within Britain's larger historicalnarrative, but it could also inform current institutional structures, ideologies and practices too.

考虑到女性在该职业的创立和发展中所扮演的角色，风景园林（LA）领域通常被描述为进步的，有些人甚至将其描述为“解放性的”2。尽管这一点多年来一直被人们所理解，但直到最近才出现了审视女性在该职业中的角色的趋势。这主要采取历史传记的形式，重点关注一些杰出女性的生活和工作。然而，正如 Shenker3 和 Riley4 所表明的那样，这种方法只能让我们到目前为止。人们越来越意识到，有必要将我们的知识探究转向洛杉矶历史上女性更加多元化的框架，并考虑到社会、政治和意识形态议程5。这项研究提案将寻求在某种程度上解决这一差距，并以此为该学科注入新的生命和理解。这不仅有可能改变我们对历史和该行业在英国更大的历史叙述中的地位的看法，而且还可以为当前的制度结构、意识形态和实践提供信息。
