Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky was one of the first women to study architecture in Austria. Immediately after the First World War, she was involved in the settlers' movement and "Red Vienna". Years of international activity as an architect in Frankfurt am Main, Moscow, Paris and Istanbul were followed by the period of resistance against National Socialism and her imprisonment in Vienna.

In her second life after liberation, she became involved as a communist during the Cold War for women's causes and the peace issue. Her projects from the reconstruction phase of the 1950s and 1960s show her as an expert in social housing.

In the book, Schütte-Lihotzky's biographical traces are traced, her Viennese apartments and her educational institutions are visited, her workplaces are described, and her buildings are made accessible.
