Abstract Based on Afro-American tradition of quilt-making, feminists favored the tropology of "quilting" as a way to piece together the differences caused by the problematics of race, class, nation and sexual orientations within feminism since the 1990s. This paper examines the repercussions and reflections of this tropology of women's textile work in the construction of American feminist literary critical discourse in the 21st century.
