The first design schools in America were founded by women, for women. The Women Who Founded RIS D introduces the remarkable leaders who established the Rhode Island School of Design in 1877 to upskill women for a rapidly changing industrial economy. These founders took women who already believed in the power of design and showed them how to monetize their skills within the professional workplace. The challenges they overcame provide a vital blueprint for today's tech-driven environment, where empowering women requires more than just encouragement-it requires strategic agency and technical fluency. Based on Dr. Nancy Austin's 2009 Brown University PhD thesis, this volume interrogates the entwined histories of art, engineering, and entrepreneurship. Today, Dr. Austin applies this foundational research on industrial transformation to her work as a Forensic Strategist and Resilience Architect, helping modern leaders navigate the 'administrative nexus' and stay 'Left of Boom.'
