Description
This illustrated biography follows the life of British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid from her childhood in Baghdad, where she first dreamed of designing buildings, to her groundbreaking career in a male-dominated profession. The book describes how she faced obstacles as a woman of color in a predominantly white field and how she became the first woman to receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize. Written for early readers, it uses simple illustrations to present her story.
