A rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current moment.
Brief description: Nicole Nehrig is a clinical and research psychologist and a passionate knitter and textile crafter living in Brooklyn, New York. She holds a PhD in clinical psychology.
Review Quotes: Now that we archaeologists have shown that, for millennia, women were making those 'clothes that make the man, ' a psychologist and avid knitter has gathered lively stories from around the world to show how the long, slow making of these textiles in turn affects and has affected the women themselves, often healing their emotional lives.--Elizabeth Wayland Barber, author of Women's Work
