how did the invention of the looms push embroidery into a female centric artform?
○ a. looms helped women move into the work place, as their sewing and embroidery skills were needed to manufacture cloth.

equired\ skill for most young ladies.
○ c. looms were considered work for men, so men made the basic cloth while women added the decorative embroidery after manufacture.

Explanation:

The question is about the historical impact of looms on embroidery becoming female - centric. Option c explains a gender - based division of labor with looms (men's work) and women adding embroidery. Option a is about women moving to the workplace for sewing (not directly about embroidery being female - centric in the context of looms). Option b is about machinery doing embroidery (not relevant to the looms - embroidery - female centric connection as described).

Answer:

C. Looms were considered work for men, so men made the basic cloth while women added the decorative embroidery after manufacture.
