Mary C. Beaudry examines the material remnants of sewing and needlework recovered from archaeological sites to illuminate the domestic lives of women across centuries. By analyzing thimbles, pins, and needles as primary historical documents, this study reconstructs the social, economic, and gendered dimensions of textile production. The work bridges the gap between domestic labor and formal history, offering a nuanced perspective on the artifacts that shaped daily existence.
