For a long time, women have had their work excluded and erased in fields such as engineering, architecture, and design. There have always been inspiring women architects, planners, and urban policymakers, but worldwide, built environment professions—and particularly their upper echelons—remain heavily male-dominated, more so than other fields such as education or healthcare.
Author Jane Hall’s book Woman Made: Great Women Designers features more than 200 designers from over 50 countries, including past and present icons and pioneers such as Ray Eames, Eileen Gray, Florence Knoll, Ilse Crawford, Faye Toogood, and Nathalie du Pasquier, chronicling the fascinating, overlooked history of prominent women in the field.
