- Description
- This collection brings together twelve essays that tackle the nexus between gender, literature, and the visual arts. While it provides a philosophical and theoretical background for some of the factors that shape female creativity, it also considers the contributions of particular writers and artists from the late 17th century to the contemporary scene. Mostly focusing on the U.S. context, the articles anthologized here further establish a dialogue with other cultural backgrounds, offering the reader a wider perspective of networks of women artists in several countries.

- 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.

- Description
- Most research has accepted stereotypical images of Muslim women, treating their outward manifestations, such as veiling, as passive and oppressive. By approaching widely used sources with different questions and methodologies, this book redresses these deficiencies. Contributors revisit and reevaluate scripture and scriptural interpretation: church records involving non-Muslim women of the Arab world: archival court records dating from the present back to the Ottoman period: and the oral and material culture and its written record, including oral history, textbooks, sufi practices, art and architecture and the politics of dress.
