The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
By Koseli.
Have you heard of The Reconstructionists? Maria Popova and Lisa Congdon have created a blog devoted to “remarkable women who have changed how we see the world.” Every Monday in 2013, a new woman will be highlighted. What a beautiful dedication to the trailblazers we revere.
I especially love the illustrated Gertrude Stein.
