1940s: (The Foyer as Space of Recognition: the Foyer Seeking to Intercede in the Complexities of the Urban Landscape by Slowly Creating a Context of Recognition Care and Accountability, the Foyer Being a Space Where One Might See Another Woman Looking Out in the Direction of the Sea for Too Long and Offer Other Possibilities): The Foyer sought to intercede in the complexities of the urban landscape by slowly creating a context of recognition, care, and accountability. The Foyer was a space where one might see another woman looking out in the direction of the sea for too long and offer other possibilities. The sentence is the book’s most devastating and most hopeful in a single breath: the sea as destination for women who could not find room to live, and the Foyer as the place where someone might notice and intervene before the sea became the only answer.
