SUMMARY- This is a book about the movement to force an acknowledgment of quilters as artists during the 1970's. There had always been a deep schism between the ideas of "art" and "craft" and seldom did the twain meet. There is some fascinating history in this one if you are interested in this period. The artist bios in this book are: Alice Baber, Lynda Benglis, Isabel Bishop, Amy Chamberlain, Elaine Lustig Cohen, Bob Douglas, Mary Beth Edelson, Chris Wolf Edmonds, Dorothy Gillespie, Harmony Hammond, Theresa Lanfear Helms, Marie Griffin Ingalls, Angela Jacobi, Marcia Gigli King, Joyce Kozloff, Marilyn Lanfear, Ellen Lanyon, Judy Mathieson, Sharon McKain, Edith C Mitchell, the Mitchell Family, Alice Neel, Pat Newkirk, Betty Parsons, Bonnie Persinger, Willi Posey, Marilyn Price, Faith Ringgold, Charlotte Robinson, Betty Saar, Miriam Schapiro, Nancy Vogel, Wenda F Von Weise, and Rosemary Wright.
