Chapter III of Otis T. Mason's Woman's Share in Primitive Culture (pp. 41-69), surveying textile arts practiced by women in non-industrial societies. It covers basketry types (plaited, wicker, twined, coiled), hand weaving without a frame, bark cloth, spinning and twisting fibers, simple looms and heddles, feather work, natural dyes and mordants, and netting and knots. Examples come from Native North America (Navajo, Hupa, Ute, Moki, Panamint), Polynesia, Africa, and South America, with illustrations of baskets, a Mohave cradle, a Navajo loom, and pottery impressions of twined weaving.
