I think I'd be a better chef if every meal was preserved in plastic rather than devoured. I'd have a shelf of my favorite meals to gaze at lovingly. <br />As for doilies, the handmade lacy kind are before your time. My grandma's generation! <br />Eli directed me to the Guerrilla Girls.

I thought of them more as lace or even paper things you put under plates or on coffee tables. No one in my family actually made them, although my grandmother had many lace ones. I also think of doilies as something we used to make Valentines.<br /><br />I heard the guerrila girls speak at the Armand Hammer museum early in my grad school career. It was really interesting. Speaking of mandalas, I always read feminism into mandalas. When male Buddhist monks made them and then let them blow away it's a deep symbol or impermanence. But every day the work of women in the home teaches that same lesson (think of your kitchen) and no one thinks there is any meaningful lesson there.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668487489667818687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144625015076186871.post-86387315179477534932013-09-23T09:43:46.822-07:002013-09-23T09:43:46.822-07:00Hi, Margaret,
Doily = homemaker = women's trad...Hi, Margaret,<br />Doily = homemaker = women's traditional unpaid work and avocations. Feminism circa 1970s-80s = success = working out of the house, at a job that is traditionally male territory. (See the movie Working Girl) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Girl) <br /><br />Related subject: Men's art (oil paintings) vs. women's "craft" (eg needlework). See the Guerilla Girls, who ask, Do women have to be naked to get into the Met? (even when they ARE oil painters).<br />http://www.guerrillagirls.com/index.shtml.<br />Cathy Perlmutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366874497046582056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2144625015076186871.post-12637325215248880522013-09-23T09:27:57.325-07:002013-09-23T09:27:57.325-07:00This is so totally cool.
