She believed that, if given the opportunity, women could surpass their male counterparts in the fields of math, philosophy, history, and science. But traditional finishing schools for women refused to teach these subjects. So, </span><a href="http://www.emmawillard.org/" target="_blank">Willard founded her own women’s school</a><span>, designing the curriculum herself. In the process, she developed new ideas for using data visualization as a learning aid; explaining concepts in history, geography, and politics with large, ornate illustrations. </span></p> </blockquote> <p><span>RT: <a href="http://blog.visual.ly/five-of-the-most-important-infographics-of-the-19th-century" target="_blank">Five of the Most Important Infographics of the 19th Century</a></span></p> <p><span><img alt="Walter Houghtons Conspectus of the History of Political Parties and the Federal Government, 1880" height="252" src="http://blog.visual.ly/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/618x252xConspectus-618x252.jpg,q547b7b.pagespeed.ic.R6le8RVpnK.jpg" width="618"/></span></p>http://datagraphics.tumblr.com/post/42511817499http://datagraphics.tumblr.com/post/42511817499Thu, 07 Feb 2013 09:24:00 -0800Historyixdkaren<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ma5jo1n9Io1rqpa8po1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://exp.lore.com/post/31288393528/if-women-dominate-higher-education-why-does-a" target="_blank">explore-blog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>If women dominate higher education, why does a gender gap in workforce pay still exist?

It compares the size of social media in 2008 with 2012, using Olympic events like weight lifting and pole vault to scale just how much this sector has grown.</p> <p>“When we began to visualize the impact of the Summer Games on branded social media, each category we were looking at took on its own event-like stature. So the idea of using a traditional isometric style to create an Olympic arena of sorts seemed like a natural fit,” explains Art Director Spencer Slemenda. “We started thinking of different events and how they would affect the chart data. The integration of the cut-out athletes came quite easily from that.”</p> </blockquote>http://datagraphics.tumblr.com/post/28586245059http://datagraphics.tumblr.com/post/28586245059Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:51:47 -0700isometricstatisticsgraphicixdkaren<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7qp3j3dNM1rra1j7o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7qp3j3dNM1rra1j7o9_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7qp3j3dNM1rra1j7o10_r1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7qp3j3dNM1rra1j7o11_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><blockquote> <p><strong>Adam Robertson</strong></p> <p>Adam Robertson, a textile and graphic designer from Norwich, makes works using systems that express data as patterns. With a background in design, the focus of his works carry a practical edge to go with the theory. Recently, he invented a new way to interpret time. “I have designed and made an application that express time as series of coloured concentric circles.
