The 422-page volume brings together newly uncovered research, revealing the lives and work of pioneering female designers across book design, typography, illustration, poster design and packaging.</p>\n<p>Organised into ten chapters, the book presents hundreds of archival examples that challenge traditional accounts of German design history, highlighting a generation of accomplished creatives whose contributions have largely remained absent from the historical record. Beautifully designed, the publication pairs essays with carefully reproduced posters, printed ephemera, lettering and illustrations.</p>\n<p>A companion research platform, <a href=\"https://www.unseen-women.design/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">unseen-women.design</a>, extends the project online, further documenting these remarkable designers while also encouraging a broader conversation about representation, authorship and the foundations of graphic design.
