Eighteenth-century women told their life stories through making.
With its compelling stories of women’s material experiences and
practices, Material Lives offers a new perspective on
eighteenth-century production and consumption. Genteel women’s
making has traditionally been seen as decorative, trivial and
superficial. Yet their material archives, forged through fabric
samples, watercolours, dressed prints and dolls’ garments, reveal
how women used the material culture of making to record and
navigate their lives. Material Lives positions women as
‘makers’ in a consumer society. Through fragments of fabric and
paper, Dyer explores an innovative way of accessing the lives of
otherwise obscured women. For researchers and students of material
culture, dress history, consumption, gender and women’s history,
it offers a rich resource to illuminate the power of needles,
paintbrushes and scissors.
