what's on
December 2018 marks 100 years since the first general election in which a percentage of women voted for the first time in the UK. In commemoration of the suffragettes’ ultimate victory, and as a stark reminder of the need to improve gender inequality in the industry, Libby Sellers and the Design Museum host a two-day series of talks on women in design.
