Abstract

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 Still today, despite the claim that the gender issue is obsolete in graphic design, only a tiny percentage of active female designers enjoy public acclaim.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.

Abstract

A bold and timely collection that brings feminist theory and critical thinking to life through vital, approachable design methods and practices. Feminist Designer brings together a constellation of voices and perspectives to examine the intersection of design and feminist theory. For decades, the feminist refrain within design has hinged on the representation and inclusion of women in the field. This collection, edited by Alison Place, however, is a call to move beyond this narrow application. Feminist design is not just about who does design—it is about how we do design and why. Feminist frameworks for design activism are now more relevant than ever, as they emphasize collaborative processes that aim to disrupt and dismantle power hierarchies while centering feminist ways of knowing and doing. The first book in nearly three decades to address such practices in design, Feminist Designer contains essays, case studies, and dialogues by 43 contributors from 16 different countries. It engages a wide variety of design disciplines, from graphic design to disability design to algorithmic design, and explores key feminist themes, such as power, knowledge, care, plurality, liberation, and community. Through diverse, sometimes conflicting, intersectional perspectives, this book contributes new design methods informed by a multiplicity of feminisms that confront design's patriarchal origins while ushering in new pathways for making critical and meaningful change.

Abstract

"Karin Bergöö Larsson (1859-1928) was a mother of eight and wife to Sweden's beloved painter, Carl Larsson. She was herself a well-regarded artist but gave it up when she married, at the request of her husband. Replacing paintbrushes and canvas with needles and cloth, she turned a somewhat ugly cottage into a designer showcase"--

Abstract

This book examines design history from a feminist perspective. It exposes the socially constructed nature of design history, and the assumptions of male designers and architects about women's tastes, women's place and the way women live. And it illuminates women's relationship to design both as designers and those designed for. Women have gained a footholf in pottery and textile design, and predominate in the field of domestic design. Why are they still a minority in the areas of architecture and industrial design? What part does design education play in this exclusion? Contains: Part One: Images of difference ; Objectifying gender: the stiletto heel ; Representations of women and race in the Lancashire cotton trade ; Tarting up men: menswear and gender dynamics ; From Alcatraz to the OK Corral: images of class and gender ; Part Two: Women as designers ; Women textile designers in the 1920s and 1930s: Marion Dorn, a case study ; Pottery women: a comparitive study of Susan Vera Cooper and Millicent Jane Taplin ; Women architects ; Part three: Women in design production ; 'If you have no sons' : furniture-making in Britain ; Powerful women: electricity in the home, 1919-40, Sexual division of labour in the Arts and Crafts Movement ; The Arts and Crafts alternative ; The inter-war handicrafts revival ; Part four: A place of their own ; A view from the interior ; The designer housewife in the 1950s ; Inside Pram Town: a case study of Harlow House Interiors, 1951-61 ; Appendix: Women at the Archive of Art and Design.
