Listen "Maggie Stern: Sock Art Celebrates the "Sole" of America"
Episode Synopsis
A children's book writer, folk artist, and founder of Maggie Stern Stitches, a sock company featuring Stern's illustrations of notable women—from Maya Angelou to Greta Thunberg to Gloria Steinhem. On the sole of each sock Maggie stitches a quotation from the featured woman: "I hope that their words inspire the wearer as much as they inspire me." A portion of the proceeds from sales goes to women's organizations and other foundations whose work aligns with the ambitions of my heroes.
