fishing knots. The first time I was introduced to hunting was when I was around six or seven years old when my uncle took me duck hunting. While we walked to our blind I could see a multitude of ducks flying and quacking. Being in the blind with my uncle was incredible. Watching him call the ducks in was something I will never forget.

In response, Collier promotes the world of the working-class female in the eighteenth century and argues that the value of their work is equal to that of the labor represented in Duck’s piece. Both Duck and…
