(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Jakoba Helena Mulder was a Dutch architect and urban planner remembered for her designs of two large city parks and the creation of livable housing and play spaces in Amsterdam. Biography When she was 18, Ko Mulder enrolled in the architecture program at the Delft University of Technology as "one of the first girls to apply to study architecture." She completed her degree as a construction engineer in 1926 and was the first female to graduate in the urban design program. According to Dijksterhuis, she met with early success. When she won a fire station design competition after graduation, her anonymously submitted design was praised for its 'masculine toughness.'
