With Her Own Hands: Women Weaving Their Stories

byNicole Nehrig

Psychologist Nicole Nehrig explores women's textile work as a record of creativity, identity, labor, protest, survival, and community. Moving among weaving, knitting, embroidery, quilting, and other fiber arts, she connects historical makers with contemporary women who use their hands to tell stories that conventional archives overlook. The book considers how domestic crafts have been dismissed even while carrying technical knowledge and emotional meaning across generations. Nehrig shows that making cloth can offer both private restoration and public expression, joining individual lives to larger histories of women's work and resistance.
