This book is the result of extremely thorough research by the best authors and scholars in the business. It contains masses of detailed information not previouly brought to light, and helps both serious researchers and the general reader alike due to its easy-reading style and interesting coverage. There is an excellent timeline, with superb illustrations and revelations of all those designers whose names and works had not yet been recorded. A must for all teachers of any of the areas of design in the book, such as Interior Design, Jewellery, Ceramics, Film, Textiles, Fashion, or Furniture. A superlative addition to the Design History world. I just wish I could see the accompanying exhibition.

That about says it. If you love design, and if you love learning about women's history, as I do, you will love this book.

This book is a wonderful asset to any designers library. I use this book in the design classes that I teach. I think it is very important to expose people to the wonderful accomplishments of these women featured in the book.
