While much current scholarship on women and material culture focuses primarily on women as consumers, this essay collection provides case studies of women who produced material objects. Essays on eighteenth-century German silhouettes, Australian aboriginal ritual practices, Brittany mourning rites, and Soviet-era recipes provide a comparative framework for the majority of essays, which focus on British and North American women who lived and worked in the long nineteenth century.
