The Natural Enemies of Books A Messy History of Women in Printing and Typography

“The Natural Enemies of Books A Messy History of Women in Printing and Typography” is a response to the groundbreaking 1937 publication Bookmaking on the Distaff Side, which brought together contributions by women printers, illustrators, authors, typographers and typesetters. It highlights the print industry’s inequalities and proposes a takeover of the history of the book.
