| Summary, Etc. |
Examines the historical and cultural significance of textile arts as a form of expression and empowerment for women. Covering practices such as knitting, sewing, embroidery, and quilting, the book traces how women across different periods and societies have used textile work to communicate, create community, and preserve traditions. Drawing on examples from various cultures -- including Quaker samplers, Quechua weaving, Miao "story cloths," and mid-twentieth-century postal art exchanges -- Nehrig explores the social, artistic, and psychological dimensions of women's textile work.
