I spent most of this week spinning and reading the book Women\u2019s Work: The First 20,000 Years – Women, Cloth, and Society in Early Times<\/em>. I found the book interesting in how it focused on how fiber arts shaped gender roles and culture. It didn\u2019t focus on any specific place in the world, it mostly covered all over Europe. The author also has the hypothesis that weaving is such an intricate and complex idea that it may have only been invented once and was spread throughout the globe, which I find very limiting and something from a western mindset. But, I could be wrong. The author is held in high regard in the textile archeology community it seems. But it never hurts to question, no?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a book from the library, Greek and Roman Dress From A To Z<\/em>, that would go well with the other book I have about ancient Greek clothing: Body, Dress and Identity in Ancient Greece<\/em>.

I ended up escaping from my anxiety and stress by spinning, which at least is still a school activity. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
