Women of Walt Disney Imagineering: 12 Women Reflect on their Trailblazing Theme Park Careers Book

In this Women of Walt Disney Imagineering book, a dozen female Imagineers recount their trailblazing careers with personal stories from their decades designing and building the Disney worldwide empire of theme parks.

Magic in the details

Capturing an era—and preserving the stories they have told their daughters, their mentees, their husbands, and their friends—a dozen women Imagineers reveal their own experiences.

Illustrated with the women’s personal drawings and photos in addition to archival Imagineering images, the book represents a broad swath of Imagineering’s creative disciplines during a time of unprecedented expansion. Intertwined with memories of Disney legends are glimpses behind the scenes of what it takes to create a theme park, and the struggles unique to women who were becoming more and more important, visible and powerful in a workplace that was overwhelmingly male.
