John H. ★★★★★

The photos alone are worth it — over 200 designers featured, and I kept flipping back to ones I'd never heard of. Gave it to my mom for her birthday and now she wants a second copy for her studio.

Grace K. ★★★★★

I bought this for my sister who's an industrial design student, and we spent an entire evening flipping through the profiles of over 200 women designers. The section on mid-century furniture makers was the highlight for me.

Michael F. ★★★★★

Finally, a design book that actually showcases women's work rather than just mentioning them. The 200+ entries are beautifully photographed, and I love that it covers everything from furniture to graphics.
