N2  - From the political propaganda of the Bayeux Tapestry, World War I soldiers coping with PTSD, to the AIDS quilt, Hmong story clothes, and pink pussyhats, women and men have used the language of sewing to make their voices heard, even in the most desperate of circumstances. Hunter chronicles how identity, protest, memory, power, and politics can be told through the stories of needlework. She takes us over centuries and across continents to celebrate the age-old, universal, and under-explored beauty and power of sewing. -- adapted from jacket
