description

This editorial design project reimagines three influential but forgotten historical texts by pioneering women activists: Emma Goldman, Rosa Luxemburg and Louise Michel.

The cover design uses their historical photographs, while torn paper elements on the book jackets reference the attacks these women endured during their political careers.

This project aims to create a cohesive visual system that honors the radical spirit and intellectual rigor of these early 20th-century political theorists while making their work accessible to contemporary readers.

Open book showing pages titled 'MARX'S SCHEME OF SIMPLE REPRODUCTION' and 'THE CIRCULATION OF MONEY' with torn black-and-white photographs partially visible.

Five book covers laid flat on a gray surface, featuring black and white portraits of Louise Michel and one cover showing a protest scene with red flags.

Open book with a full-page illustration titled 'C4. THE MAKING OF A REVOLUTIONARY' showing a crowd with red flags, next to a closed black book titled 'MEMOIRS OF LOUISE MICHEL WRITTEN BY HERSELF.'
