Description
This book offers a close feminist reading of contemporary Israeli women`s literature based on current theories. The texts, written by Amalia Kahana-Carmon, Hanna Bat-Shahar, Michal Govrin, Ronit Matalon, Dorit Peleg and Rivka Rass, are analysed as texture.The focus moves from the embroiderer, the creator of the world according to the old liturgical text (which serves here as a motto) to the embroideress, who uses the needle as a subversive tool.
