This comprehensive introduction seeks to rectify that by shedding light on the untold story of female design pioneers who have played a vital role in shaping the history of modern processes of making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArranged chronologically, this guide explores the structural barriers that women designers faced and the ways in which they overcame them. It showcases the success of renowned designers such as Anni Albers at the Bauhaus, architect Eileen Grey, interior decorator Elsie de Wolfe, and fashion icon Mary Quant, focusing on key subjects such as architecture, craft, fashion, furniture, graphics, interior, product, and textile design. The book also delves into the link between early twentieth-century revolutionary design and lifestyle, as well as the ideas of shopping and consumerism as a liberating activity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoreover, it examines the significant contributions of designers during and after the Second World War, as well as design activism, design collectives, and the current success of women working transnationally in architecture and design. By highlighting the contributions of women designers and consumers throughout history, this book provides a valuable contribution to the field of design history and encourages a broader understanding of the role of women in shaping the creative landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 430g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 x 209 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780500204825\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anne Massey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105248866554,"sku":"9780500204825","price":10.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1665743005239_book.jpg?v=1665818268","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/women-in-design-9780500204825","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
