Reading List
The work of Laurel Thatcher Ulrich has really guided my work. I have endeavored to research the late 17th century/18th century women that Ulrich focuses on and try to physically manifest the historical ideas that she brings forward. For instance in her book The Age of the Homespun, she puts forth the idea that a woman's life is traced historically via the handmade artifacts she produced during her life time.
