We perceive the life of Julia Keilowa from the present-day perspective of being an example of the professional emancipation of women and design. In the 1930s she was young artist, a professional realizing her ambitions in the field of industrial design. For the companies with which she cooperated her designs constituted a breath of modernity, elegance and artistic chic. For she was shown at prestigious exhibitions, with care being taken about their promoted image.
Similarily were to unfold the artistic and professional careers of Christa Ehrlich and Sylvia Stave. These designers were almost peers. Each had the possibility to study at an institution implementing a programme in modern design. The wave of changes allowed them to develop their talent in this "unfemale" field, one perceived in the 19th century as being not even entirely artistic.
Characteristic for the designers was also the period of being forgotten in the post-Second World War period. A renewed openness to and awareness of the works of Keilowa, Ehrlich or Stave was to only come with the turn of the 21st century. This being the result of an intertwining of several factors: a growth in the significance of design, a renewed interest in Art Déco as a style, as well as the emancipation current initiating research into the creativity of women.
