Abstract
This thesis is the written component of a larger project which includes the website: womensworkdesign.com. This project applies the research methodologies of feminist art historians to a study of graphic design history, then uses the tools of digital communication for public dissemination. This paper seeks not only to resurrect female graphic designers excluded from the historical canon but to question the nature of their exclusion. Through an applied analysis of the current model of graphic design history this paper explores three case studies to conceptualize and demonstrate a more inclusive historical approach. This approach explores themes that each of these female graphic designers were engaging with through their lives and work and introduces that information to the digital space using womensworkdesign.com.
