"A fascinating insight into the women who have shaped the way we live"
- Elle Decoration

Design throughout history has been profoundly shaped and enhanced by the creativity of women. But in a narrative that eagerly promotes their male counterparts, their contributions are all too often overlooked. From architects and product designers to textile artists and digital innovators, Women Design profiles a selection of the most dynamic female designers from the modern era, showcasing their finest work and celebrating their enduring influence. Through 21 engaging profiles, this book rediscovers and revels in the work of pioneers such as Eileen Gray, Lora Lamm and Lella Vignelli, while shining a spotlight on modern-day trailblazers including Kazuyo Sejima, Hella Jongerius and Zaha Hadid. Richly illustrated with archival imagery, this is a rare glimpse into the working worlds of some of the most influential forces in contemporary design.

Industry Reviews
"'""Women Design assumes the Herculean task of highlighting women's contributions to design-including architecture, industrial design, digital design, and graphics-from the 20th century to the present day. It has no business being just 176 pages, but author Libby Sellers, a prominent British gallerist and curator, manages to pack a wealth of information in profiles of 21 women designers. Historic pioneers such as Denise Scott Brown, Ray Eames, and Lella Vignelli get their due, as well as contemporary stars like Neri Oxman, Patricia Urquiola, and Kazuyo Sejima. ... This book attempts to correct the narrative, and it tells some rollicking stories along the way.Co.Design ""A fascinating insight into the women who have shaped the way we live""Elle Decoration' -
