A celebration of "women's work," this book features contemporary artists from around the globe who are transforming what it means to make craft.

"Women's work" has historically been relegated to the domestic, absent from galleries and discussions of "art." From cross-stitching and quilts to baskets and decorative ceramics, women have spent centuries creating masterful crafts without recognition from the historians and institutions that determine whose names are remembered and whose work is celebrated.

This book explores these art forms, focusing on ten areas traditionally labelled as "feminine." Featuring 38 contemporary artists from around the world, Angelik Vizcarrondo-Laboy examines the traditions these artists work with and the boundaries they're breaking. Through stories of family, migration, gender, and what it means to be a craftsperson, this book explores the future of the feminine in the arts.
