Cette nouvelle biographie, comprenant plus de 150 images d'archives et des photographies en couleur, présente Julia Morgan à la fois comme une architecte pionnière et une personne captivante. Julia Morgan a été une pionnière de longue date. Elle a été la première femme admise à étudier l'architecture à l'École des Beaux-Arts de Paris et la première autorisée à pratiquer l'architecture en Californie. Au cours de la première moitié du 20e siècle, elle a laissé une marque indélébile sur l'Ouest américain. De ses 700 créations remarquables, la plus emblématique est Hearst Castle. Morgan a passé trente ans à construire ce domaine opulent sur la côte californienne pour le magnat de la presse William Randolph Hearst, forgeant une amitié de longue date et un partenariat créatif avec lui. Ensemble, ils ont construit une résidence spectaculaire et inégalée qui accueillait autrefois les plus grandes stars de l'âge d'or d'Hollywood et qui accueille aujourd'hui des centaines de milliers de visiteurs chaque année. Cette biographie convaincante s'appuie sur des interviews, des lettres et les journaux intimes de Morgan, y compris des réflexions inédites sur la foi, l'art et ses expériences de vie. L'amitié de Morgan avec Hearst, sa passion pour le paysage californien, ses luttes contre la démence familiale et son dévouement à l'architecture révèlent qu'elle a été une artiste singulièrement brillante et déterminée.
