Reviews
"With the publication of the important book . . . art lovers are treated to a full account of the life, creative processes, vision, and accomplishments of a great Latina artist. . . . The editors . . . have greatly enhanced our knowledge of an important American artist of craft and fine arts." -- Ricardo Romo * Latinos in America *
"It is a joy to see Jimenez Underwood's work as a teacher addressed and to read about her influence on students. Essays are supported by excellent images and a strong introduction. A significant notes section points to additional research. This excellent resource will be good for courses that expand on the understandings of textile art and art history. Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals." -- L. L. Kriner * Choice *
