UN/SEEN: Women in Graphic Design up to the Bauhaus

Design history has long overlooked the pre-Bauhaus era, the "arts and crafts" movement, and — most notably — the contributions of women in graphic design. UN/SEEN corrects this gap, drawing on previously unknown material to explore the lives and work of female designers across book design, posters, typography, illustration, and packaging.

Across ten chapters, the book presents new research and rich examples showing how accomplished and confident this first generation of female graphic designers truly was, and how the debates they sparked still shape the field today. 

By challenging established narratives, UN/SEEN offers fresh role models for the ongoing conversation about design and gender.
