"A beautifully presented and illustrated coffee table book with 600+ full colour portrait photographs of women wearing Miranda's superb millinery creations. An inspiring read that leads us through a re-imagining of the good life into a more caring and connected world. The first two sections take an inventory of the fashion industries, collective harm on the environment and on society, challenging the apparel, fashion and textile industries to do better. Section three is a reckoning of our commercial, political and institutional realms that calls for fundamental change at every level with the central theme to involve uploading the feminine value system (the world of ""we"") into our largely left-brained asymmetrical world.

Written through the authors personal lens, of a lifetime of breakdown and breakthrough, Green juxtaposes her journey, and the interminable war within her own mind, against the backdrop of a world at war with itself and at odds with nature.

The Big Picture Narrative of a Sewing Machine Activist encompasses a diversity of content from a variety of disciplines. It is a rich tapestry of thoughts and im-pressions that blends theory with art and the lived experience; and which rallies around the central axiom: ""women and the feminine are vital to our planetary survival"". Blending insight and intuitive understandings with book learning, Green offers a compelling narrative of the most pressing issues of our time and how we might go about attending to them. A sweeping, big picture overview of the world that we could be."
