The Subversive Stitch: Embroidery and the Making of the Feminine Paperback – 21 June 2019

Buena información, pero todas las imágenes de los bordados vienen en blanco y negro.

The book is interesting, but this is far from comprehensive, often very lightweight in explanation and not very well-organized or written. There are too many repeats of the same information in different parts of the book, word for word, which is not long to begin with. Very limited in scope - mostly about British embroiderers. The 'subversive' aspect is not well developed or defined - and poorly explained even when stated. Equating embroidery with feminism is tenuous at best, for lack of proof. The best parts of the book are the explanations of various types of embroidery and how they evolved.

Bought this for my sister and she love it.

Ha venido la primera página defectuosa, y las siguientes con esa línea defectuosa arriba y el texto torcido. Era un regalo y no me gusta entregarlo así.

There are 2 versions of this book, I'd originally read the older one written in the 1980s but this is the revised (1996) version with updated comments by the author. It's still bloody brilliant and a fascinating read.
