In the Author's Words....
"Along the way I kept running across wonderful bits of information about the women-virtually always women-who produced these textiles and about the values that different societies put on the produts and their makers. When I talked about my work, people seemed especially eager for these vignettes, stories that told of women's lives thousands of years ago."(pg 12)

The making of fabric, of creating complex beautiful designs with thread, has been the way of women for 20,000 years. This unusual text documents the economic and social history of women and their relationship to textiles, a story which is particularly relevant when growing numbers of women are attracted to this ancient path.
