Feminist designer: On the personal and the political in design

This collection brings feminist analysis into design practice, education and professional life. Its EDI contribution is to show that the personal and political are inseparable in decisions about collaboration, authorship, labour, care, form and technology. The essays resist the idea of a single feminist method and instead foreground situated, intersectional practices. This matters because gender inequality in design is not limited to who enters the profession; it also shapes whose work is valued, how teams operate and what kinds of futures are imagined. The book offers designers ways to reflect on their own position and to build more equitable processes. For EDIDesK, it enriches the repository with perspectives on gender, institutional culture and everyday ethics.
