Handicraft as Protest from the American Revolution to the Pussyhats
Ratings1
Average rating5
Pussyhats quite literally created a sea of pink the day after Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States in January 2017. But there was nothing new about women crafting as a means of dissent. This is the first book that shows how craft, has also been used as a subversive tool throughout history and up to the present day in 2018.
Reviews with the most likes.
A wonderful book that goes through the history of how women have used crafting (knitting, sewing, embroidery, quilting, weaving, etc) to ensure their voices were heard. Goes all the way back to the American Revolution to current issues (the 2016 US election & fallout; Black Lives Matters).
A collection of stories that show how a group craft project can help bring a community together, both while making the project, as well as while displaying the finished project.
