Excerpt from The Ladies Work-Table Book: Containing Clear and Practical Instructions in Plain and Fancy Needlework, Embroidery, Knitting, Netting, and Crochet
I r n be true that home scenes are rendered happy or miserable in proportion to the good or evil influence exercised over them by woman - as sister, wife, or mother - it will be admitted as a fact or the utmost importance, that every thing should be done to im prove the taste,cultivate the understanding, and elevate the charac ter of those high priestesses of our domestic sanctuaries. The page of history informs us, that the progress of any nation in mor als, civilization, and refinement, is in proportion to the elevated or degraded position in which woman is placed in society; and the same instructive volume Will enable us to perceive, that the fanciful creations of the needle, have exerted a marked influence.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. From the bustle of industrial Britain in the 19th century to the modern-day self-help movements of the present day, embroidery and other fiber crafts have held a prominent place in the lives of women, reinforcing their social bonds and fostering their sense of creativity and diligence. This book sets out to valorize the work that women have done and continue to do in these undervalued, yet significant home-based art practices, demonstrating how they reflect and shape women's lives and the wider cultures in which they are created. Broader societal changes in technology, economics, and gender roles are subtly mirrored in the aesthetic choices, patterns, and subjects chosen by women over time. Embroidery emerges as a powerful but subtle way of understanding women's history and experience in the modern world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330007877_0
