Fantastic for the feminist textile geek

I loved this book nearly from start to finish. Engrossing, in all parts of textile production. Occasionally strays a bit afield from textiles themselves, especially when discussing the invention of mail and modern commerce practices, which seem tied only tenuously to fabric trade.... but fascinating regardless. Huge recommend to all fiber geeks.
