This thesis examines the relationship between the marginalization of ornamentation
during functionalist modernism and the effect it had on female graphic design practice.
By examining the historiography from a gender and feminist theory of history I
present a different way of interpreting, not only the history of graphic design but also
the concept of graphic design. This thesis does not reach a conclusive result, instead
it sets the foundation for further research and illustrates the opportunities that we as
graphic designers have to benefit contemporary graphic design by critically reviewing
and redefining our history through a diverse historiography.
