Mary Turner Shaw
Mary Turner (Mollie) Shaw (1906-1990) was born in Caulfield, Melbourne, Australia. She is one of the first woman to be employed as an architect in the early 1930s in Australia and thus pioneered new pathways for female architects. Her career is widely known for her working qualities that made her oversee many projects across Australia. She also became a distinct figure as an architectural historian, when she started publishing books and written articles. Her skills were diverse as she worked as a fashion designer, interior designer, project manager, public works architect and pioneer architectural librarian. As well known historian Geoffrey Serle described her, she was ‘a born writer and research historian with imagination, the ability to tell a story and define and ask fundamental questions’.
==Early life and education==
Shaw was born the youngest in the family from her three siblings of well established Western District graziers. Her great-grandfather, Thomas Shaw, and grandfather, Thomas Shaw junior, were distinct figures in leading the development of Australia’s fine-wool industry.〔 Her parents were Thomas Turner Shaw, Grazier (father) and Agnes May, Née Hopkins (mother). During her childhood, she lived at Wooriwyrite, a thirty-roomed house, on Mount Emu Creek near Mortlake, Victoria.〔 From 1916 - 1922, she attended Clyde School at both its East St Kilda and Woodend (which she was later commissioned to alter in 1940 through Romberg & Shaw) campuses.〔 During her adolescence, she endowed well in debating, dressmaking, drawing and piano and won many prizes, and after moving to London with her mother, she passed two entry exams, that gave entry to the University of Oxford.〔
