Christina Rossetti Tea Towel

£14.00

‘For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.’

This tea towel celebrates Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), considered by many to be the greatest female poet of the 19th-century. At a time when women were largely expected to be seen, not heard, she made her mark, influencing many poets and writers that followed. Although ambivalent about women’s suffrage itself, sisterhood and solidarity were an important part of her values. Rossetti was opposed to slavery (ongoing in the American South), cruelty to animals (animal experimentation was very common at the time), and the exploitation of girls in under-age prostitution.

Made by the Radical Tea Towel Company. Half Panama unbleached organic cotton, stitched on all four sides and hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40.
