Isabelle Anscombe, in her fascinating study of design and design movements from the 1860s to the 1980s, concentrates on the contributions of prominent women, ranging over the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain, the Glasgow School of Art, the Russian Constructivists, the Bauhaus, the Wiener Werkstätte, the great interior decorators of the 1920s and 30s on both sides of the Atlantic, and the dress designers of the 70s. The variety of talents displayed by May Morris, Margaret Macdonald, Elsie de Wolfe, Vanessa Bell, Sonia Delaunay, Dora Carrington, and Syrie Maugham was extraordinary. They worked in enamel and ceramic; made jewelry, clothing, and tableware; wove textiles and rugs; did needlework; designed houses and gardens, and showed business acumen and a flair for publicity. Their creative work and their vision of the world as women enriched and transformed not only their own lives, but the worlds in which they worked.
