Abstract/Summary

Women and type – an illustrated article published in Spanish relating the establishment and some of the findings of the research project 'Women in Type' funded by the Leverhulme Trust and hosted by the University of Reading. This project provides the first socio-historical account of women’s role and responsibilities in type-drawing studios from 1910 to 1990 as experienced within the two companies: the Monotype Corporation and Linotype Limited (formerly Linotype-Paul Ltd and Linotype-Hell Ltd). English-version accounts of these findings are available on the project's website: https://www.women-in-type.com/
