| Summary |
This book argues that Eileen Gray's unusual architecture and design - as well as its history of abuse and neglect - emerged from her involvement with cultures of sapphic modernism. Bringing together a range of theoretical and historical sources, from architecture and design, communicaition and media, to gender and sexuality studies, the author shows that Gray shared with many of her female contemporaries a commitment to designing spaces for sexually dissident modernity |
