I went to a very lively talk yesterday by Professor Mary Osirim, a Bryn Mawr sociology professor who capped a series of talks on women and the global economy. Naturally, I was piqued by her choice of topic, a report on a study that she conducted among women in Harare and Bulawayo, whose primary bread-winning activity is crocheting and knitting clothing and decorations. I thought her presentation

I knew she was
