This paper tries to dive into the fact that Modern Architecture and Feminism were born at the same time. It begins by explaining how along Modernity supposedly feminine attributes were thought as the way to achieve a better society. With the impact that the Industrial Revolution had they were the key concepts on which Modern Architecture was founded. It had two main utopias, Radiant City by Le Corbusier and Broadacre City by Frank Lloyd Wright. Like every model that is put into reality, they both degenerated in urban renewal and suburbia. Two women, who were neither architects, nor planners denounced it. Betty Friedan, a feminist, explains how Suburbia kept as prisoners all the women in her book The Feminine Mystique (1963). Jane Jacobs, a journalist, fought against the destruction of popular neighborhoods by urban renewal in The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961).
