@thetimes: Why is the Bayeux tapestry a crucial piece of feminist history? Despite being made by women — it’s thought to have been embroidered by nuns in Kent — women are almost entirely absent. There are only six women in the tapestry — three in the main scenes, three in the borders. Chief Foreign Correspondent Christina Lamb visited the Bayeux Tapestry at the British Museum and explains the stories behind some of the characters 🔗 Tap the link to read the full story #culture #womensrights #bayeuxtapestry #historical #britishmuseum
My favorite books when I was a child was ‘The Dwarf from Normandy’. It followed a young nun, Fifa, and her fellow nuns as they listened to the tails from a Dwarf from Normandy and a war prisoner regailing them with the tale of the battle, and working on the tapestry as the story was being told.
