Eleanor French
Mrs French, who is a member of the Council of the Embroiderers' Guild, and who writes articles on embroidery, believes that although women have gained a lot in winning their emancipation they have also lost a lot - the learning and practising of those things that used to be part of a woman's culture. The beautiful things embroidered by our mothers and grandmothers are not made at home today. It is an art neglected. She would have the teaching of embroidery made optional for girls in our schools.
