This article presents for the first time a series of houses built by the pioneering Dutch architect Wilhelmina Jansen, the only one of the first female graduates to have her own architectural office. Her architectural practice was nurtured by her active participation in numerous women's networks and her work in the Women's Advisory Committee VAC, a voluntary women's organisation that advised the Municipality of Rotterdam on housing and the environment. Jansen's houses represent a concept of modernity where forms were thought and experienced from a precursory feminist perspective. Despite these values, her work is absent from the historiography of modern Dutch architecture narrated on the basis of male figures and iconic objects. Her discovery is the result of intensive research in her personal archives, interviews and the survey of the works. Paradoxically, from the margins of modernity, Jansen's works have innovated in discussions that today are central, such as architecture with a gender perspective. ; Este artículo presenta por primera vez una serie de viviendas construidas por la pionera arquitecta holandesa Wilhelmina Jansen, la única de las primeras egresadas en tener su propio estudio de arquitectura. Su práctica arquitectónica se nutrió de su participación activa en numerosas redes de mujeres y su labor en el Comité Asesor de Mujeres VAC, una organización de mujeres voluntarias que asesoró al Municipio de Rotterdam sobre la vivienda y el medio ambiente. Las casas de Jansen representan un concepto de modernidad donde las formas eran pensadas y experimentadas desde una precursora perspectiva feminista. No obstante, estos valores, su obra está ausente de la historiografía de la arquitectura moderna holandesa narrada en base a figuras masculinas y objetos icónicos. Su descubrimiento es resultado de una intensa investigación en sus archivos personales, entrevistas y el relevamiento de las obras. Paradójicamente, desde los márgenes de la modernidad las obras de Jansen han innovado en discusiones que hoy son ...
