On opening day of The Osborn, Tuesday, April 21, 1908, 12 elderly gentlewomen stepped down from horse-drawn carriages and into a new life, a life that happened because of the vision of one remarkable woman: Miriam Osborn. Seven years later, the first recorded history of the institution noted, "Every effort has been made to make this institution the finest in the world, and not only a fine institution but a real home."" Polished by the sands of time, the modern Osborn has sustained that world-class status as one of the nation's premier retirement communities. This volume celebrates those who preserved not so much a way of life but a philosophy of caring and a commitment to provide a real home that has endured for 100 years.

This report presents the findings of a study commissioned by the Chartered Institute of Building and the Department of the Environment on how best to improve the representation of women in professional, managerial and technical occupations in the building industry. A key aim of the research was to develop a series of recommendations to encourage more women to enter the building professions and subsequently to remain within the industry. The report provides a detailed analysis of the views of women in building and their assessment of a series of actions which could be taken to change the current gender balance.
