Gestalterinnen: Frauen, Design und Gesellschaft im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit
Gestalterinnen: Frauen, Design und Gesellschaft im Wien der Zwischenkriegszeit
Edited by Alana Shapira and Anne-Katrin Rossberg
Gestalterinnen played a decisive role in the development of modernism in Vienna. This publication presents new research on women designers, ceramicists, fashion designers, graphic artists, garden architects, photographers, art historians and patrons.
The contributions illuminate the eminent importance of these women for Viennese modernism and show how traditional role models were challenged during the interwar period. The Gestalterinnen confronted existing prejudices and created new visual languages in order to forge successful careers. At the same time, they contributed to critical discourse on the emancipation of women.
