Coming Up Next: Dr. Karen McNeill, Women's History Month and a Salute to Trailblazing Architect Julia Morgan


"Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves." 
Architect Julia Morgan. 



As we continue to observe Women's History Month in the USA I'm featuring an encore interview originally broadcast in 2017 on Conversations with Dr. Karen McNeill, the nation's foremost authority on American Architect Julia Morgan. 

As California's first female licensed architect, Morgan's designs are masterpieces.

What's her Chinese connection? She designed the building pictured above. The Chinatown YWCA in San Francisco is today the headquarters and museum of the Chinese Historical Society of America.

McNeill will once again illuminate us about this one-of-a-kind architect. 

Her other designs include Hearst Castle at San Simeon, and here in Hawaii -where I am hosting from once again- Laniakea, the YWCA in downtown Honolulu across from Iolani Palace.

Tune for the broadcast on Saturday, March 24 at 10:30 a.m. Eastern USA Time for the latest in our journey together celebrating all-things Chinese on Marvels of China: Pathways to the Pacific Rim on 1490 WGCH Radio and WGCH.com anywhere.
