Review of Deborah L. Davitt, “Madder and Woad,” Tree and Stone 2 (2022): 14-18 — Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
God, the way in which some stories cut straight to the chase without any prevarication: This is one of those. The fight between survival and death, the ways in which this strips away all parts of our humanity.
Read this story and weep. What else can you do?
Recommended especially for weavers and dyers. So much power in the work of women, the work that is so often discarded as meaningless.
