Reference Gathering and First Attempts at Making
Focusing on two references:
Joan Rivieres Womanliness as a Masquerade 1929
“Womanliness therefore could be assumed and worn as a mask, both to hide the possession of masculinity and to avert the reprisals expected if she was found to possess it — much as a thief will turn out his pockets and ask to be searched to prove that he has not the stolen goods.” (Riviere, 1929)

“78% of the UK’s design workforce is male.”
“This is also despite women making up 63% of all students studying creative arts and design courses at university.”inescapable and unavoidable. Hidden facts and discoverable realities can still be baked in but in the end perhaps the main goal here is awareness and forced exposition.
“The overall ratio is skewed by the male dominated subsectors of product and industrial design (95%), digital design (85%), and architecture and built environment (80%).”
“For example in the multidisciplinary design subsector, women working as product, clothing and related designers earn 18.3% less than men in that subsector despite making up nearly two-thirds of that design subsector (64%).”
“Women are also less likely than men to be in senior roles, with only 17% of design managers being female.”
