Date: 2009-01-05 11:51 pm (UTC)Another really excellent book that I'd recommend is Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years, or Women, Cloth and Society In Early Times, by Elizabeth Weyland Barber. Magnificent book; it's a study of not just what women did to keep society alive, but *why* they did it... it's kind of surprising, just how tasks got portioned out sometimes-- the reasons aren't nearly as obvious as you'd think. The book's full of from-the-ground-up recreations of weaving, discussions on alternate methods, you name it. And you can find it here.
