The“gender irrelevance”principle of traditional design history research is actually a disregard for women’s experiences and their historical contributions. Feminist design history takes feminism as its stance, body experience, identity and everyday life as its core paradigms, and feminine writing as its main strategy, which is a critique, reflection and correction of the traditional design history and its male centrism. Feminist design history pursues value judgments based on historical facts, emphasizes critical historical narratives, and uses gender pluralism as an ethic of care to reconfigurate the remainder in the discourse system of the design history, representing a pioneering force in the ethical turn of contemporary historical research.
