Synopsis:

More than half of the graphic designers in the U.S. are women, yet they are less likely to be invited to speak at conferences or to offer expert opinions to the media.Their award-winning work is seen everywhere, but with few exceptions, they are not celebrated in the same way as their male counterparts."Women of Design" explores this contradiction while at the same time shining a light on the work of women designers, both industry veterans and influential newcomers.By asking the handful of female design stars to identify other talented women, then asking those women to suggest more still, the authors are creating a web of influence and excellence that proves these women are worthy of attention.

About the Author: Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio are Co-Founders of UnderConsideration and the (in)famous design community Speak Up. Both are designers and writers and their work has been published in Emigre, Eye, HOW and STEP. Vit is also a frequent design-industry speaker.
