With Her Own Hands

A rich and intimate exploration of how women have used textile work to create meaningful lives, from ancient mythology to our current moment

"With Her Own Hands is both scholarly and deeply personal - a warm, generous celebration of women’s lives, told through the textures and threads that have shaped them. It invites us to see textile work as a powerful, enduring language and a legacy stitched through generations, with care, courage, and creativity."

"[A]n inspirational read for crocheters, knitters and everyone in between."
