Ruth Adler Schnee, a Design Pioneer, Wins 50K Kresge Prize.
Ruth Adler Schnee is one of those people that have lived through a great deal of adversity and have come out on top. Her family escaped the Nazis in Germany as a teenager before settling in Detroit. Then, despite being the first woman to earn a graduate degree in architecture from the Cranbrook Academy of Art, no firm would hire a woman at the time.
