Pussyhats quite literally created a sea of pink the day after Donald J. Trump became the 45th president of the United States in January 2017. But there was nothing new about women crafting as a means of dissent. This is the first book that shows how craft, has also been used as a subversive tool throughout history and up to the present day in 2018.
