Anna Sznajder centers this ethnography of gendered creative
practice in the lace-making community of Bobowa, Poland. Grounded
in rural gender studies and feminist epistemology, Polish Lace
Makers is a pivotal historical and modern account of the social and
economic behaviors of entrepreneurial craftswomen tasked with
preserving the originality and symbolic value of lace. Sznajder
traces the evolving work strategies and occupational identities of
this community from the early 19th century up to the modern day,
outlining the challenges of World War II, communist rule, and
socialist Poland. The case studies included in this account are
emulative of the larger struggle of female entrepreneurs to
self-manage, innovate, create, and provide for themselves and their
families. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology,
sociology, gender studies, and European studies.
