Kerensa’s Reviews > Worn: A People's History of Clothing > Status Update

technically this book is actually only 300 pages long if you set aside all the pages of references and whatnot. which means i only have 70 pages left and i CAN finish this book today before i skulk back to the library to return it! (it is overdue)

it's sort of crazy learning about how much oppression and exploitation (and environmental damage) is entwined with the production of cotton and then thinking about how much ~natural fibers are held up and valorized within sewing and crafting communities! basically everything is intersectional everything is multilayered.

started reading this on 10/21 and i am highlighting a ridiculous amount. so far, i think it makes a really good follow up to Women's Work so i'm glad i'm reading them in this order
