520 8 Why do apparently so few women feature in the history of
design? Why is it still the case that so few women speak
at conferences? Why are previously well-known women
"forgotten"? What effects does the gender debate have on
today's everyday working life? Are women judged today
solely on the basis of their quality of work? Since
professionalization began, female graphic designers have
been working actively and successfully, but the artificial
synthesis of masculinity and artistic genius has
repeatedly prevented women-with few exceptions-to be
recognised in "official" design history. Still today,
despite the claim that the gender issue is obsolete in
graphic design, only a tiny percentage of active female
designers enjoy public acclaim. This opulently illustrated
volume finally sets out to fill this gap. It presents the
most significant female designers and portrays their paths
to professionalization, with numerous short biographies
alongside essays, sources and detailed discussions.
