Book Overview

The authors explore the delicate tension between traditional and social change in Amish life, documenting the remarkable creative variation and individual expression Amish women achieve in their quilts despite the unique proscriptions of the particular communities. Rare photographs of the Amish by Susan Einstein capture glimpses of a culture that shuns the camera yet fascinates the outside world.
