From colorful threads found on the floor of an ancient Georgian
cave to the Indian calicoes that fueled the Industrial Revolution,
The Golden Thread illuminates the myriad and fascinating histories
behind the cloths that came to define human civilization-the
fabric, for example, that allowed mankind to shatter athletic
records, and the textile technology that granted us the power to
survive in space. Exploring the enduring association of textiles
with "women's work," Kassia St. Clair "spins a rich social history
. . . that also reflects the darker side of technology" (Rachel
Newcomb, Washington Post).
