SynopsisForeword by Alice Walker. From the dollmakers of Turkey to the batik artists of Indonesia, women in developing economies provide for their families by creating and selling indigenous crafts which draw on cultural traditions. Often driven by the harsh realities of poverty, these craftswomen come together in groups creating a kind of micro-enterprise, often strengthened into cooperatives through financial aid. In this volume we hear their individual voices, culled from five years of travelling and meeting these resourceful and creative women.
