The Subversive Stitch: Embroidery and the Making of the Feminine by Rozsika Parker is a thoughtful non‑fiction work that explores the cultural history of embroidery and its role in shaping ideas of femininity. It blends art history, women's studies and craft theory, making it a valuable read for both young adults and adult audiences interested in art, culture and gender.

The trade paperback, published in 1996, arrives in solid condition from a smoke‑free home. The front paper bears an inscription, the front inner cover shows some foxing and the first few pages have minor page‑edge foxing, but the remainder of the text is clean, tidy and free of dog‑ears, with a tight binding throughout.

As a vintage 1990s title, this book offers a well‑preserved glimpse into feminist art scholarship and is an appealing addition for collectors of art & culture, biography and history titles.
