Looking for two needlework books...
The second one was probably "The Subversive Stitch" by Roszika Parker.
Try here - http://www.amazon.com/ exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0415902061/ qid=1125540794/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/ 103-8341894-1618225?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Cut and paste the url so it's all one line in your web browser. It's a great book! Pat in Illinois The second book is also from the 70s-80s and I believe the author and publisher were British. The publisher had a neat name like "Steam On" or "Iron Will Press". I cannot remember the title for the life of me. It was a history of needlework as related to feminism. It was a white paperback with a older seeming picture of a woman sewing. It had a picture section that featured modern embroidery - I can recall a field of women's symbols. Do either of these sound familiar to anyone? TIA! Best, Christine |
Hi Pat,
Thanks!!!! That's it exactly! And it's still in the local library system. Awesome job, you should be working there :-) It is a great book, that's why I was looking for it for a friend. Best, Christine |
You're welcome. Now if only I could find my copy!
