Reading about the inherent femininity of knitting and what that means for women who knit today has led me to reflect on what the practice means for women’s power. I think it is important when women use knitting, or craftivism of any kind, as a political tool. In this form of voicing beliefs, women can acknowledge historical oppression of women in a unique way. I believe using knitting as a political tool demonstrates an acknowledgement of the inferior societal position women are placed in, but by switching its purpose as a means to fight for power, whether that power is fighting for reproductive rights, fighting mass-production, or simply being heard. I also admire that the practice of knitting or embroidery engages the mind and allows us to think critically about the project and what it represents. Women who embroidered feminist figures said they had time to think about the impact that those women made in the world and for their societal position. Knitting as a feminist activity, for activism or for pleasure, is an act of rebellion of societal roles, which I think is truly powerful.
