Bauhaus women and their legacy to the discourse of the Modern Movement

Abstract

The objective of the work is to show the professional work of the women representing the Bauhaus, marked by gender discrimination, but deserving of the achievements attributed to the school.

Very little is known about the history of these prolific women because many of them had to face invisibility and lack of recognition for their work. Due to stereotypes of the time they were forced to develop mainly in the textile sphere, however, there were exponents who transcended the barriers of what was considered 'feminine'.

Like their classmates, they were generators of this new discourse from their projects. And although they remained in the background as parts of a couple or their pieces went down in history as products made only by them, they managed to get ahead and work their way without being deterred by the limitations that were imposed on them. The following is a sample of 10 women whose work in art and design was a legacy for the Modern Movement.
