Book Synopsis Women and the Material Culture of Needlework and Textiles, 1750-1950 by : Maureen Daly Goggin
Book excerpt: With essays on a range of fiber art practices, including embroidery, knitting, crocheting, machine stitching, rug making, weaving, and quilting, this collection contributes to the ongoing scholarly redefinition of women's relationship to creative activity. Focusing on women as producers of cultural products and creators of social value, the contributors treat women as active subjects and problematize their material practices and artifacts in the complex world of textiles.
