Thursday, June 18th is Craft and Cone night at the Feminist Women’s Health Center. It’s an ice cream social and craft night that includes a talk on crafting, feminism, and social justice! I’m so excited about this event! It’s been really fun doing research about the topic, and I’ve been finding some pretty rad pictures of how women and crafting has been portrayed through the ages. For example, check out this cover from a 1940 issue of McMall Magazine (via Flickr Commons):
If you’re interested in attending this free event, contact Claire at outreach @ feministcenter.org or call 404-248-5445 to RSVP!
I’m also looking for pictures of subversive crafting. If you guys have anything along those lines, or any cool old-timey pictures of crafting that you’ve got scanned, I’d love if you’d email me! You’d get credit for your image, of course!
There was a little mixup with the dates on some of the fliers, so I also wanted to make sure anyone who’s planning to hit up the event has the right one: Thursday, June 18th 7-8:30pm.
