REVIEWS "A beautifully crafted film. It explores women's history, U.S. social history, folk art, and music, and is a glorious memorial to our persevering foremothers. An essential purchase for public libraries." "One of the most interesting films I've seen in recent years. Beautifully structured--a new form for telling history." "A quality production for public libraries, colleges and universities. Our patrons loved QUILTS IN WOMEN'S LIVES and now we're proud to offer them HEARTS AND HANDS." "Absorbing and professionally executed, this sweeping documentary examines the role of women in shaping America from the days of emerging industrialization to westward expansion. Exquisite...painstakingly crafted...for schools, libraries and museums." "An absolutely expert outing, made with quality and a kind of subtle ferocity"
