As far as I know, here in Catalonia (Spain), some men were the lace designers while women were the workers of lace. I consider whereas, the work of the women more important, as it is more difficult to adapt a design to lace that just to draw the pattern.
And I can add too, that we know the name of the men but not the name of the women who worked the laces.
