“Mildred Pierce: And just what do you do, Mr. Beragon?
Monte Beragon: I loaf. Oh, in a decorative and highly charming manner.

“The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
—Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)
