When did spinsters spin?

Amy Erickson has a handy blogpost explaining how the ubiquity of spinning wool and other textiles in medieval and early modern England related to the marital status meaning of 'spinster': www.campop.geog.cam.ac.uk/blog/2025/06...

19 July 1643 #OTD 3 grenades were shot into Chester by Sir William Brereton's army. According to Thornton, who lived there, 'The second alight short of the city, in a ditch, within a pasture amongst a company of women milking but was quenched without doing them harm at all' (Bk 1, 70). #EarlyModern
Portrarit of Sir William Brereton, 1st Baronet. He wears a brown cloak and on his head a black rimmed hat with a brown rope around it. He has dark brown eyes and beard.

This is a real long explanation from JD Vance that basically says, “I wasn’t about to take any time off to help raise my kid.”

truly bizarre advert from the telegraph in 1916. It's for an adding machine- love the old fashioned quill pen though!

Freedom, joy & wildness are #womenswork this morning. (Hopefully they’ll be writing fuel, too.)
Torso selfie of person with arms outstretched wearing a tank top that says “this is women’s work.” Behind, a panorama of golden grass hills and deep blue sky.

Women's work was being devalued even as the work was increasingly mechanized. A very good thread 🧵

This Day in Labor History: August 9, 1910. The first patent was issued for the electric washing machine. Let's talk about technology and the transformation of women's unpaid domestic labor!

A different insight into #WomensWork. All three of the women named by Thornton were servants in her household (Mary a former servant, Hannah a current one, as was Barbara, albeit for Thornton's niece who was staying with them). #EarlyModern

20 July 1668 #OTD Thornton fell ill on hearing of rumours circulating about her: 'Barbara Todd, did impudently accuse, before my face, my servant (Hannah Ableton) for telling her from one Mary Breakes of several stories —which were very great lies and falsehoods against myself' (Bk Rem, 122). 🗃️

Small (30”x30”) silk quilt titled Dark Night Dreaming. Made before 1995. All hand sewn appliqué & embroidery. As I go through the documentation of my lifetime of work I find pieces I have forgotten. This is one.

So Timmy me lad when are you going to start doing #MensWork. I would classify what you do, grifting for clicks, as a service job and therefore #WomensWork.

Continuing my journey through my download folder and found this gem. It's at least three or four years old. I have no idea where I got it from or who made it, but bless that artist's skill and brilliance.

An embroidered version of an Arthur's hand meme. "When you remember that historically, embroidery hasn't been taken seriously as a medium because it's 'women's work." arthur's hand is clutching a needle and thread is embroidered under the text. it's amazing. so many stitches.

A photograph of a woman walking across (away from camera) an empty concourse towards a busy intersection. In the background the sea and a partial glimpse of an island ferry. She wears a red and white dress giving a pink impression. Notably carrying equally balanced/weighted yellow plastic shopping bags (light and perhaps eco examples). One in each hand. Early morning purpose on a sunny day.
