About the Author

H. Peter Oberlander is Professor Emeritus of Community and Regional Planning at UBC and founder of the UBC Centre for Human Settlements. Eva M. Newbrun first became interested in housing issues as a social care worker. She lives in San Francisco and has been writing professionally for the past twenty-five years.

Reviews

Peter Oberlander and Eva Newbrun have traced her career in meticulous detail and written a highly readable account of her life and times. Ostensibly a biography of Catherine, their book is simultaneously a biography of the Housing Movement that she helped to spawn and of the early City Planning Movement in which she was an active participant.

Houser is a well-researched and well-written biography of this talented woman.
