Description
Every Woodle Book has been hand made in Kent, where Aimee’s studio is. Each book has been carefully put together to make the perfect notebook just for you. The books are made to feel great in your hands and not be too heavy in a bag for travelling. They have all been bound so even people who are left-handed can use them with comfort and ease as they all open flat, this sort of attention to detail is what makes Woodle Books extra special. Aimee was trained at Windsor Castle in Book Conservation, these techniques are used in the notebooks she makes so these lovely notebooks can be passed down as family heirloom if you wanted for a good few hundred years.
All endpapers are sourced from incredibly talented designers and are not the work of Woodle Books. Designs are from Lagom ,who have sourced and work closely with a wide range of amazing designers and artists like Hanna Werning and Naomi Wilkinson, splatter papers are from master marbler Jemma Lewis.
Lots of people are credited with coining the great phrase, “well-behaved women rarely make history.” They include Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Steinem, Eleanor Roosevelt, Anne Boleyn, and many more. Given time, any powerful woman with backbone and nerve will get credit for this phrase and sentiment. Even Princess Leila from “Star Wars” saying “well-behaved women rarely defeat empires” is a popular internet meme.
It’s a great quote, but we should credit its actual author. And we’re so happy that it came from an academic scholar, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, who is a professor of Early American history at Harvard. Academic historians rarely make history, but Professor Ulrich certainly has. While she was a PhD student, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich published an important article in the spring 1976 issue of the journal American Quarterly. Its title was, “Vertuous Women Found: New England Ministerial Literature, 1668-1735.” (“Vertuous” was an alternate spelling of “virtuous” in the 18th century.)
Each Book is handmade here in England using recycled fibres.
