Here are some examples of when embroidery became part of a move to transform the relationship of art to society, and the place of women with in it.
Suffragette Banners of the early 1900′s
Sonia Terk Delaunay – textile designer and artist, also did embroidered collage paintings.
Judy Chicago, the Dinner Party. Combination of embroidery, ceramics and installation commemorating women in history

Samples of hand embroidered patches with a statement.
I can’t wait to start making patches!
Excited to do this and see peoples’ responses to it!
I’m very interested in learning how to embroider things… I came across some embroidery art online the other day and now I’m even more excited.
Super!
I think the embroidery we learned Friday, along with all the other techniques we learned, will be very useful and will come in handy in the future.
