In 1909, America celebrated its very first International women's day, in honor of the 1908 women's strike against poor working conditions. 109 years later, the fight for women's rights around the world still goes on, and we have come a long way. That's why we'd like to appreciate all of the strong and talented females out there and encourage them to keep designing, creating, and improving the world with their incredible talents and wisdom. We would also like to take the time to appreciate all of the beautiful women who have redefined interior design and made it their own. There are hundreds of thousands of talented and intelligent female designers out there and one post would never be enough to thank all of these incredible women! That's why we'd like to highlight a few of our favorite female designers! These women have redefined the interior design industry and made it as unique as they are.
