Women of IXD Deep Cuts #16 is out. Educators Meredith Davis & Kathryn McCoy, both presidents of the now defunct American Center for Design in the 1990s. They shepherded the Living Surfaces conferences into being, which were some of the first for designers working in Multimedia, then the Internet and Web. They gave us opportunities to share our work and have conversations about the evolution of the designer's role into these new spaces.

This list doesn't cover specific references, oral histories or interviews with specific women. https://womenofixd.com/bibliography
