Flora Crockett Stephenson (1914–1979): A life and professional partnership in planning

Christine Garnaut

Planning Perspectives, 2016, vol. 31, issue 4, 505-531

Abstract: This article contributes to the growing literature on women's contributions to planning, especially in the UK, the USA, and Australia, and to research into the phenomenon of life partners who work together professionally. The subject is Flora Crockett Stephenson (1914–1979), the first woman to complete the Master in City Planning degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Presented as a biographical exposé, the discussion introduces Flora's background and reveals her largely unrecorded contributions as the life and professional partner of British architect-planner Gordon Stephenson (1908–1997), already the subject of several academic studies.
