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.
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.
