Founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, the Bauhaus and most of its students were poor and lacking in just about everything. What it did have, however, was an abundance of enthusiasm, talent, and innovative creativity. Futhermore, over half of those seeking to enroll were women. Here Ulrike Muller gives the women artists of the Bauhaus movement the acclaim they deserve and presents both their lives and their artistic endeavours.
