Woman Made Great Women Designers

Woman Made: Great Women Designers by Jane Hall is a landmark survey of women’s contribution to design across all disciplines — from furniture and industrial design to graphic design, typography, textile, and digital work. Hall profiles over 200 women designers whose work has shaped the made world, presenting their achievements with full-colour illustration and critical commentary that places each figure in her historical and professional context. The book challenges the male-dominated canon of design history, making visible the women who were overlooked, attributed to their male colleagues, or simply written out of the official record. Published by Phaidon, this is essential for design students and professionals, and for anyone interested in the relationship between gender and creative work in the industrialised world.
