HERstory Quilts

A long-overdue tribute to a selection of women who have shaped history through herstory, this rich collection of 108 mixed-media fiber art pieces celebrates extraordinary women who cracked glass ceilings, made important discoveries, or shook the world by breaking into fields dominated by men. The subjects of these exquisite quilts, by 85 artists from 7 countries, include politicians and scientists, environmentalists and entertainers, activists and artists, athletes and authorsand even a fictionalheroine. The quilting medium mirrors theadvances these women have made, as the art quilt movement has inspired women to express theircreativity in a whole new way.
