- Description
- Rejecting traditional notions of what constitutes art, this book brings together essays on a variety of fiber arts to recoup women's artistic practices by redefining what counts as art. With essays on a range of fiber art practices, including embroidery, knitting, crocheting, machine stitching, rug making, weaving, and quilting. Each essay also examines the ways in which needlework both performs gender and, in turn, constructs gender. Contents: Introduction: Threading women / Maureen Daly Goggin: Identity, embroidery, and sewing: the needle as the pen: intentionality, needlework, and the production of alternate discourses of power / Heather Pristash, Inez Schaechterle and Sue Carter Wood: Stitching a life in 'pen of steele and silken inke': Elizabeth Parker's circa 1830 sampler / Maureen Daly Goggin: 'Tattered to pieces': Amy Fiske's sampler and the changing roles of women in antebellum New England / Aimee E. Newell: 'I dearly loved that machine': women and the objects of home sewing in the 1940s / Marcia McLean. Cultural identity, piecing, quilting, and lace making: turn-of-the-century quilts: embodied objects in a web of relationships / Beverly Gordon and Laurel Horton: Crazy quilts and controlled lives: consumer culture and the meaning of women's domestic work in the American Far West / Cynthia Culver Prescott: Native quilting: history, traditions, and studies / Marsha MacDowell: Mundillo and identity: the revival and transformation of handmade lace in Puerto Rico / Ellen Fernandez-Sacco: Invisible seamstresses: needlework in Venetian convents from the 15th to the 18th century / Isabella Campagnol.

Smith: Recovering American women industrial designers: Florence Cory as a 19th-century case study / Sarah Johnson: Hooking magic: transforming women's handicraft into Art / Cynthia Fowler: American women and wartime hand knitting, 1750–1950 / Susan M.

- Description
- The essays in this collection explore new perspectives on the histories of bodies and sexualities, but also on issues that are allready the subject of major historiographical debates. The author emphasizes the historical distinctiveness of ideas about bodies, sex and desires and demonstrates the notable continuities that have existed over time. The essays draw attention to how ideas about sexuality, bodies and desires can be traced back through older knowledge and thinking.
