Gender and place – York’s women’s history

It’s right and proper to recognize the efforts by accomplished 21st-century women who are building on the civic work of countless other women leaders from the past.

In this edition of Hometown History, Jamie Kinsley and Domi Miller give voice to women who created – who create – for aesthetics or need. They are using the York County book “Quilts, The Fabric of Friendship” as a resource. And they are drawing on the expertise of northeastern York County’s Red Stone Glen Fiber Arts Center to weave stories about how textiles interlock with the larger York County story.
