This book explores the evolving role of women in scientific, professional, and public spheres, with a special focus on design, not only as a field but also as a strategic tool for societal change. The first section examines Gender and Science, addressing the promotion of gender-inclusive cultures within academia. Contributions from scholars across disciplines delve into how gender roles shape academic careers, influencing choices and opportunities for success. The second section shifts to professional practice, bringing together designers and practitioners to reflect on the changing landscape of the design industry. It investigates the presence and achievements of women in design and how the field itself can become a catalyst for reducing gender disparities through inclusive approaches to objects, spaces, and services. The third section broadens the scope to urban contexts, discussing the right to the city from a gendered perspective. It highlights the importance of designing urban environments that foster safety, accessibility, and social equity, ensuring women’s and other genders' needs and experiences are embedded in the fabric of public spaces and lives. A valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and students in design, social sciences, and gender studies, this book offers critical insights into the shifting dynamics of gender in academic, professional, and civic life, challenging norms and envisioning a more inclusive future.
