In Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1792 publication A Vindication of the Rights of Women she spoke of women’s entrapment by social expectation. “Taught from infancy that beauty is woman’s sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.” The mitts feature a slip stitch ‘cage’ pattern topped and tailed with a pretty Estonian braid and a twisted rib cuff.

Sizes available: S (M, L, XL): 15 (16, 17.75, 19.5)cm / 6 (6.5, 7, 7.5)in. These are the measurements of the mitt. It is designed to fit with between 0.5-1inch of ease.
