This publication also traces how the success of early women designers went on to inspire other women to similarly pursue their own professional dreams, which helped change the goals and focus of design and ultimately the course of its history.
The book includes more than 100 profiles of women designers, including Ray Eames, Irma Boom, Paula Scher, and Elaine Lustig Cohen, April Grieman, and many others.
