Hidden Hands: Labor and Leisure in Early American Needlework

Marla R. Miller, Distinguished Professor of History, University of Massachusetts Amherst

$10 (members 10% discount)

Miller's primary research interest is U.S. women's work before industrialization. In this talk, Miller will explore early American women’s labor history beyond the quilt frame, and consider the many ways in which women’s work—enslaved and free; Black, white, and Native American—in other rooms of the house contributed to the making of decorative needlework.
