From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Born Marie Reidemeister, Marie Neurath worked with Otto Neurath at the Gesellschaft-und Wirtschaft Museum (Social and Economic Museum) in Vienna in the 1920s and '30s. Together with their collaborators, they invented the Isotype system of statistical information. After Otto Neurath's death in 1945, in Oxford, Marie Neurath continued the work of the Isotype institute and authored many children's books. She donated their work to the University of Reading Typography Department in the early 1970s. She died in the late '80s.
