“Shedding The Shackles: Women’s Empowerment Through Craft.” Publ Bloomsbury/ Herbert Press is available now.

It has been widely acclaimed and is featured in many journal and magazine articles both in the UK and USA. It has been the subject of several radio interviews, podcasts and online events and presentations.

Some  reviews:

“I love everything about this brilliant, beautiful book. Not only are the photographs stunning, but Lynne Stein is a thorough researcher and a gifted storyteller. She brings to life the history of women and craft in various parts of the world, as well as sharing stories of exceptionally talented individuals which are both fascinating and inspirational.

Whether you enjoy crafting yourself, or you are simply interested in women’s history and how the boundaries between ‘fine art’ and craft have blurred in recent decades, you will find rich reading in Shedding the Shackles. It’s a colourful celebration of an important topic.

Bravo, Lynne Stein! You’ve done a super job of showing how women in various parts of the world have shed the shackles of poverty, and taken their rightful places amongst those we reverently call “artists””.
