According to google search, the word, history, is derived from the Greek word
“historia” meaning to inquire and to investigate. In the 1960s the word “herstory”
was coined to point out that throughout the past history has been his story
focusing primarily on male contributions. History has mostly overlooked the role
of women and their achievements. The artist aims to bring exquisite heirloom
needlework made by women into the contemporary art platform to stand equal
to the historically male dominated art techniques.
