The paper deals with the issues linked with architectural oeuvre of the architect Věra Machoninová, one of the leading figures of Czechoslovak Brutalism Movement of the 1960's and 1970's. Alongside the main topic, the paper will touch upon the status of women architects, their situation, and perception of their work. Even today, Machoninová is regarded as a part (often the other) of a architectural dynamic duo constituing of her and her husband Vladimír. Despite the aforementioned view, she was the leading force behing the construction and engeneering of their designs. Vladimír focused on managering their studio.
