Trade Review"You might start to read this book out of a passion for textiles in general, or rugs in specific, but you'll finish it because it says so much about how to do some good in this world." --Keith Recker, founder Hand/Eye magazine; Creative Director, International Folk Art Market
"Rug Money is a template, a literal "how to" for social and economic change. And the leading indicator is the education and employment of women. Giving women agency, as Rug Money shows, means great promise for impoverished communities across the globe." --Amy Kaslow, award-winning journalist and photographer covering at-risk communities, worldwide
"Rug Money provides a stellar example of why entrepreneurial opportunities such as Multicolores can transform individual artisans, their families, and entire communities. Read their story and be inspired." --Jeff Snell, Ph.D, CEO, International Folk Art Market
"The book's strength lies in its stunning photos and the personal narratives of 10 women who find self-worth, camaraderie and joy in a sisterhood of artisans." --Christine Brunkhorst, book reviewer, Minneapolis Star Tribune
