In many cultures certain crafts are considered the province of women. Very young girls learn by mimicking their mothers' craft-making techniques; often, they are proficient before they are ten years old. Although a "women's craft" in one culture may be a "men's craft" in another (gender assignments are almost always as inexplicable as they are inviolable), all the crafts in this book are considered in their societies to be women's crafts.
