... that the British design historian Cheryl Buckley claimed in an influential 1986 article that women's contributions to design have been "consistently ignored"? Source: Quoted in the article (
[1], p1); for "influential" see eg
[2] (p99)
Interesting life and work, on fine sources, subscription sources accepted AGF. I don't think that a link to design is needed in the hook. How about an infobox. --

Thanks,
Gerda Arendt (and double thanks for fixing my appalling typo! Embarrassing! In my defence, my "d" key has been on strike since before Christmas) -- I've delinked design, but there's now only the bolded link, and as I wrote, our
design history article is in a dreadful mess so I'd prefer not to link that. I'm not a great fan of infoboxes, I'm afraid, especially here where there's not a lot to put in it (eg can't find place of birth nor the precise date) and no available image.
