Rozsika Parker uses household accounts, women's magazines, letters, novels and the works of art themselves to trace through history how the separation of the craft of embroidery from the fine arts came to be a major force in the marginalisation of women's work. Beautifully illustrated, her book also discusses the contradictory nature of women's experience of embroidery: how it has inculcated female subservience while providing an immensely pleasurable source of creativity, forging links between women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-261545\"\u003eRozsika Parker\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350132290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350132292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-CRA\"\u003eCrafts \u0026amp; Hobbies\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-CRA008000\"\u003eNeedlework | Embroidery\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-CRA\"\u003eCrafts \u0026amp; Hobbies\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-CRA021000\"\u003eNeedlework | Needlepoint\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART015000\"\u003eHistory | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRozsika Parker \u003c\/b\u003e(1945-2010) published widely in Art History and Psychoanalysis. \u003ci\u003eThe Subversive Stitch: Embroidery and the Making of the Feminine \u003c\/i\u003efirst appeared in 1984.\u003ci\u003e Torn in Two: The Experience of Maternal Ambivalence \u003c\/i\u003ewas published in 1995\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eShe and Griselda Pollock together wrote \u003ci\u003eOld Mistresses: Women, Art and Ideology (1981) \u003c\/i\u003eand edited \u003ci\u003eFeminism: Art and the Women's Movement 1970-1985 (1987). \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48765972906221,"sku":"9781350132290","price":46.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_6cca9dd8-1c8f-48fe-a798-5a1de2315e54.jpg?v=1758644580","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-subversive-stitch-embroidery-and-the-making-of-the-feminine-9781350132290","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
