Description

Explore the fascinating history of women's geographical education through the lens of needlework. Stitching the World examines how schoolgirls in the British Isles and the United States created embroidered map samplers and silk globes from the late eighteenth century until around 1840. This book moves beyond simple needlework techniques to investigate the deeper reasons behind these creations. It tracks how these educational tools diffused from the British Isles to the United States and explains why they were developed as part of a woman's learning. By examining hundreds of British maps and rare American artefacts, this work provides a unique perspective on how geography was taught and understood during this era. Ideal for readers interested in historical geography, the history of education, and the cultural role of needlework, this volume offers a detailed look at how maps were used to teach both craft and science to young women.
