Adorably and amusingly fierce feminist art historian blog

Who writes this stuff, I asked myself irritably as I turned the pages to check the footnote.  Second rate historical fiction?  Over digested creative writing assignment? Highly regarded manifesto of modern design?  Yes, it's  Charles Edouard Jeanneret, the man who also had the poor taste to reject Charlotte Perriand when she applied to worked in his atelier in 1927, dismissing her with the comment "we don't embroider cushions here."
