Description: "The Renaissance woman, whether privileged or of the artisan or of the middle class, was trained in the expressive arts of needlework and painting, which were often given precedence over writing. Pens and Needles is the first book to examine all these forms as interrelated products of self-fashioning and communication." (back cover).
