Woman's contribution to art, design, and architecture has historically been kept from the limelight. This publication remedies past oversights, emphasising the remarkable artists and their innovative works through 101 brief biographies and 1000 photographic representations.
Woman’s contribution to the world of art in general, to design and architecture in particular, has always been historically speaking kept far from the limelight, and even today there is no plausible explanation for this.
