Those interested in the history of needlework will be enthralled by Tricia Nguyen's latest article. Basically, she lays out the problems she and other experts in needlework face in trying to battle the prejudices around the history of our art and what she is doing to combat these things.
How can you help Tricia? Read her three articles in Textile History when they are published and available online, then talk about them. Or you can buy the Winterthur article with her other article in it (Tricia includes a link) and show it to everyone you know. Or both.
It's up to us to make ourselves and our stitching ancestors more visible for what they are/were, not what people assume they are/were.
