Mary C. Beaudry mines archaeological findings of sewing and
needlework to discover what these small traces of female experience
reveal about the societies and cultures in which they were used.
Beaudry’s geographical and chronological scope is broad: she
examines sites in the United States and Great Britain, as well as
Australia and Canada, and she ranges from the Middle Ages through
the Industrial Revolution.The author describes the social and
cultural significance of “findings”: pins, needles, thimbles,
scissors, and other sewing accessories and tools. Through the
fascinating stories that grow out of these findings, Beaudry shows
the extent to which such “small things” were deeply entrenched
in the construction of gender, personal identity, and social class.
