Design and Feminism: Re-visioning Spaces, Places, and Everyday Things

Authored by Joan Rothschild and Alethea Cheng

Design and Feminism offers feminist critiques of inadequate design standards, and suggest ideas, projects, and programs for change. The interdisciplinary essays cover such subjects as rethinking the American city, graphic design and the urban landscape, working at home, theories of women and design, and a trio of essays on industrial designs. Increasingly, the distinction between public and private spaces or work and home is becoming more blurred. As a result, innovative designs are needed to meet the challenges of our ever-changing environment.
