March 8, 1911 marked the first celebrated International Women’s Day in many European nations as well as the United States. Women from around the globe gathered to talk about women’s rights and their place in society. From their historic presence in the Bible and contributions throughout history, to their movements in modern day society, many womens’ groups focused their energies around areas of substance, passion and purpose.  Books were written, organizations were formed, many even sparked protests and debates that created lively conversation and shifts in the norm that some were not ready for.

J&O Celebrates Female Inventors Thru Fabric!

With Women’s History Month coming to a close, J&O Fabrics would like to take a final moment to showcase some of our well know prints inspired from some not so well known female inventors. From ‘ Retro Kitchen Supplies’ and ‘Laundry Essentials’ prints, to ‘Pink Lingerie’ and ‘Chocolate Cookies’ designs, the creativity of the female spirit is never ending.

Back in the day, many women had to hide behind fictitious names or their male counterparts in order to see their unique creations manifest into fruition. Often times, the inventions of women never saw the light of day until they were first ‘ invented’ by a man. Today, more and more women are being recognized and honored for their creations, and people are taking notice.
