There are many successful and famous graphic designers in the history of Austrian graphic design, but closer examination shows that women are generally not involved in it or only along the fringes. This publication traces the work of women in applied graphics and puts them, their lives and their creations in center stage.

Based in a selection of 14 female graphic designers who were based and worked in Vienna from 1920 to 2000, this book offers an overview of female work in applied graphics. The main objective was to highlight the incredible design and technical acumen as well as the great breadth of female work. This volume is dedicated to the female designers who were and are of great relevance to Austrian design today.
