DESCRIPTION:
"Great book but nearly all written in German" according to Gayle. I would have given the book a 5 star rating if it were all written in English. I did not realize that the majority of the text would be in German. Such a pity since there are so few comprehensive books on the market focused solely on woman graphic designers.. Amazing!!! Alexandra Creamer One of the best books I own It's spectacular. A combination of essays by the artists and photos of their work. I discovered so many amazing women designer and their incredible work though this book. A must have for all women interested in graphic design/art or history.
Also included are key writings by contemporary and historical designers such as Paula Scher, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville, Natalia Goncharova, Ellen Lupton, Martha Scotford, Véronique Vienne, Astrid Stavro and Alissa Walker.. This opulently illustrated volume sets out to repair this omission. Becker, Anna Berkenbusch, Heike Grebin, Gisela Grosse, Miriam and Nina Lambert, Iris Utikal and Judith Grieshaber. Women in Graphic Design 1890–2012 presents the most significant female designers and traces their paths to professionalization and acclaim, through short biographies, essays and conversations with well-known contemporary female designers
