This book highlights the contributions of Central European women to global modernism in architecture, design, art, photography, and museology. It spotlights trailblazers including designers Ilonka Karasz and Mariska Karasz, artist Amrita Sher-Gil, photographer Irena Blühová, architect Dora Gad, and ceramicist Susi Singer. It also explores the groundbreaking practices of jewelry designer Cissy Zoltowska, artist Kiki Kogelnik, museologist Zdenka Munk, and visual artist Mira Schendel. Concluding with contemporary multimedia positions, the book examines how these women navigated materiality and spirituality, bridging concept and matter, gender dynamics, and the East–West divide within and beyond Europe.
