"Embroidery has provided a source of pleasure and power for women, while being indissolubly linked to their powerlessness... Paradoxically, while embroidery was employed to inculcate femininity in women, it also enabled them to negotiate the constraints of femininity" (R. Parker in: The Subversive Stitch: Embroidery and the Making of the Feminine, London, 1994, II).
