- Description
- Greed and lust are generally considered good only for men, and then only outside the realm of family life. The history of Western economic ideas shows that men have given themselves more cultural permission than women for the pursuit of both economic and sexual self-interest. Feminists have long contested the boundaries of this permission, demanding more than mere freedom to act more like men. Women have gradually gained the power to revise our conceptual and moral maps and to insist on a better-and less gendered-balance between self interest and care for others. This book brings women's work, their sexuality, and their ideas into the center of the dialectic between economic history and the history of economic ideas. It describes a spiralling process of economic and cultural change in Great Britain, France, and the United States since the 18th century that shaped the evolution of patriarchal capitalism and the larger relationship between production and reproduction. This feminist reinterpretation of our past holds profound implications for today's efforts to develop a more humane and sustainable form of capitalism.

- Description
- Women have been structurally part of the masonic enterprise from at least the middle of the 18th century. This book is about the ways in which they themselves obtained and exercised power to influence the systems they were involved in, in order to adapt them to be more appropriate to their needs. The volume intends to concentrate on two aspects: Women’s agency (i.e. the power women gained and exercised in this context) and rituals (i.e. the role of men and women in changing and shaping the rituals women work with). These two aspects are closely related, since it requires some agency to realise changes in existing rituals.

- 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.

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.
