"Offering an alternative, female-focused history, Women in Design is an essential new tome dedicated to the innovators who have shaped the design world" - ELLE Decoration You've probably seen or read numerous books on design but this is the first comprehensive survey focusing on the achievements of women in the field. Women in Design celebrates over a century of female creativity and ingenuity within all areas of design, including fashion, textiles, furniture, lighting, product, automotive, industrial, graphic and interactive as well as architecture. The book features more than 100 profiles of pioneering women designers, some who have achieved global recognition such as Ray Eames, Charlotte Perriand and Zaha Hadid but also introduces the fascinating and often untold stories of lesser-known designers, who have similarly shaped and enriched the story of design.
