Our mental space can hold way more space than we think. So can our hands. This is for that tired, anxious and cool adult, go feed your soul and your creativity.

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get you (too) horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry or get the creeps though). Recommendations welcome!

The majority of history has been, and still is, written by men. Even when men write about women in history, they often get it wrong, distort the truth to fit moral or political narratives, or just plain have no idea what the female experience is so they miss what’s actually important.

Here is a list of some of history written by female authors, who are looking at history through their female gaze - not through the lense of what men have decided is history.

Suggestions welcome!

Books to learn about the history of knitting, embroidery and the political context in which this traditionally “women’s work” is placed

Non-fiction stories about the way textiles intersect with our lives through art, history, textile industry, farming, or reflections on craft.
