Review of Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle by Clare Hunter

Threads of Life: A History of the World Through the Eye of a Needle by Clare Hunter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Threads of Life by Clare Hunter chronicles the importance of women and needlework throughout history. It tells the ways in which women used needlework to express their views on political, social, and historical events. Needlework has played such an important role in coping with traumatic events, propaganda, and story telling. This book tells the importance of what has been considered to be traditionally women's work that has often been overlooked through history.

I would highly recommend this for anyone interested in needlework and women's history.
