“EuroWeb Book Corner” with Mary Harlow, Cecile Michel and Louise Quillien

In the third edition of the “EuroWeb Book Corner” we are pleased to welcome EuroWeb members Mary Harlow, Cecile Michel and Louise Quillien, who will be presenting their recent edited volume “Textiles and Gender in Antiquity. From the Orient to the Mediterranean”, published by Bloomsbury (2020).

This book explores the interplay of Textiles and Gender throughout a time span of three thousand years in the Near East and the Mediterranean basin, bringing together textual, iconographic and archaeological sources to paint a new and encompassing picture of the role of textiles, from economy to dress and the expression of social and cultural identities.

Learn more about this groundbreaking work, an instant reference work in both the History of Gender and the History of Textiles in the Ancient World, and pose all your questions to the editors in the final Q&A session of our “Book Corner” on the 23rd of November 2021, at 16:00 (CET). Registration is available through Eventbrite and you can also follow this event through EuroWeb’s YouTube Channel.
