Crafting with Feminism

book cover

By Bonnie Burton (Engl, Jour'95)
(Quirk Books, 112 pages; 2016)

This is what a feminist crafter looks like! Crafting with Feminism features 25 irreverent and easy-to-make projects that celebrate everything that rocks about girls, gals, and women. Wear your ideology on your sleeve by creating feminist merit badges (like “started an all-girl band” or “rocked roller derby”). Prove that the political is personal with DIY power panties (“No Means No”). Craft great feminist hero finger puppets (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bell Hooks, Frida Kahlo) or googly-eyed tampon buddies. Fun sidebars provide background on (s)heroes of the feminist movement. Forward written by actress Felicia Day.
