marie russak

Oakland Tribune 18 June 1911 p.6

Well I don't have anything to say about Marie Russak except that I wish someone would write a book about her so I could read it. 

Wikipedia tells us she was born in 1865 in California, (another source says Russia in 1888) and was best known as a theosophist but also an opera singer and late in life, I guess, she started designing houses, though how that was possible and whether she was an actual qualified architect is unclear. 

Anyway, I'd like to know more but who has the time really to get involved.

I'm going to come back to this ep of Ryan because it has an amazing North Melbourne car chase, but first I want to honour Margaret Cruic...
