Bauhaus Women
A Global Perspective
Elizabeth Otto,
Patrick Rössler
Bauhaus Women: A Global Perspective reclaims the other half of Bauhaus history, yielding a new understanding of the radical experiments in art and life undertaken at the Bauhaus and the innovations that continue to resonate with viewers around the world today.
The story of the Bauhaus has usually been kept narrow, localized to its original time and place and associated with only a few famous men such as Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, and László Moholy-Nagy.
Bauhaus Women: A Global Perspective bursts the bounds of this slim history by revealing fresh Bauhaus faces: Forty-five Bauhaus women unjustifiably forgotten by most history books. This book also widens the lens to reveal how the Bauhaus drew women from many parts of Europe and beyond, and how, through these cosmopolitan female designers, artists, and architects, it sent the Bauhaus message out into the world and to a global audience.
These women are included in the book: Friedl Dicker, Marguerite Friedlaender-Wildenhain, Gertrud Grunow, Gunta Stölzl, Lydia Driesch-Foucar, Ilse Fehling, Margarete Heymann-Loebenstein, Benita Koch-Otte, Lou Scheper-Berkenkamp, Lore Leudesdorff-Engstfeld, Ré Soupault, Anni Albers, Gertrud Arndt, Lucia Moholy, Ise Gropius, Irene Bayer, Lis Beyer-Volger, Marianne Brandt, Ruth Hollós-Consemüller, Katt Both, Lena Meyer-Bergner, Margaretha Reichardt, Otti Berger, Margarete Dambeck, Florence Henri, Grit Kallin-Fischer, Margarete Leischner, Wera Meyer-Waldeck, Lotte Stam-Beese, Etel Mittag-Fodor, Karla Grosch, Margaret Leiteritz, Edith Tudor-Hart, Ivana Tomljenović, Monica Bella Ullmann-Broner, Kitty Fischer van der Mijll Dekker, Zsuzska Bánki, Ricarda Schwerin, Grete Stern, Michiko Yamawaki, Irena Blühová, Judit Kárász, Hilde Hubbuch, Stella Steyn, Lilly Reich
