Abstract
Recently I visited a major exhibit on historic Irish art and design and was struck by a lovely embroidered map of Ireland. In the midst of outstanding examples of Irish furniture and art was an elegant girl's/woman's map, signifying her mastery of both geography and stitchery. Now, Judith Tyner has published Stitching the World: Embroidered Maps and Women's Geographical Education, an examination of this short‐lived tradition of embroidering map samplers or globes as material artifacts of women's geographic education. The slim volume is a noteworthy contribution to our understanding of map history, history of geographic education, and women's history.
