'The Industrialized Designer' - Gender, Identity and Professionalization in Britain and the United States, 1930-80

This book contributes new perspectives on the identity of the industrial designer, particularly from a gendered perspective, through a critical interrogation of the 'heroic male designer'. It explores the professionalisation of industrial design in Britain and the US from 1930–80, a 'new profession' that emerged in the 20th century. -- .
