Women Textile Designers is the first notable study of the enormous role that women have played in the textile industry, illustrated with world-class 20th-century designs from the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and beyond.

Featuring printed, woven, and embroidered fabrics created for public spaces, furnishings, fashion, and theatre, this book showcases the works of some of the world's most accomplished designers. This includes Arts and Crafts pioneer May Morris, Bauhaus designers Gunta Stölzl and Anni Albers, mid-century designers Lucienne Day and Althea McNish, contemporary pioneers such as Birgitta Hahn and Reiko Sudo, and many more.

The chapters of this book expertly chart the transformation of the textile industry over the 20th century, including women's increased access to design eduction and their roles as entrepreneurs and leaders, all accompanied by in-depth and illustrated profiles of key designers. It examines the impact of the creation of new products and technologies alongside changing consumer patters and the shifting functions of modern textiles in domestic interiors, public spaces, and transportation.

A celebration of female creativity, Women Textile Designers is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in design or seeking an inspirational sourcebook of modern and contemporary patterns.
