Ellen Perry Berkeley
Ellen Berkeley was a senior editor (at Architectural Forum and Architecture Plus), before she and her husband became Vermonters. Four decades later, she’s had five books published. She authored three books: Maverick Cats (1982), her own encounters with domestic cats gone wild and research from around the world; Keith’s People (2003), a thriller based on recent info from Vietnam; and TNR: Past, Present and Future (2004), details on the growing trap-neuter-return movement to control feral cat numbers. On two books, she was editor: Architecture: A Place for Women (1989), 22 great discussions on women’s work in this profession, and At Grandmother’s Table (2000), a history book with 68 women writing about their grandmas and providing heirloom recipes. Berkeley also writes freelance articles and essays on many subjects. She has taught courses at top architectural schools and now teaches memoir writing closer to home.
