Introduction

I am in this picture, here

My name is Mic, sometimes spelled Musaabdulrashid. I am basically a good person, though I am often at the wrong place at the wrong time. I like steering things and going places, so I will probably be attending either the United States Merchant Marine Academy, SUNY Maritime College, or California Maritime Academy next year. I play the bagpipes competitively in Grade 3, and that is where all my real knowledge is.

A young woman from Ramallah, c. 1898-1914. Until the 1940s, women of Palestine wore elaborate handcrafted garments.

A Bedouin woman in Jerusalem, sometime between 1898 and 1914, dressed in Palestinian costume, the traditional clothing worn by Palestinians. Many of the handcrafted garments were richly embroidered and the creation and maintenance of these items played a significant role in the lives of the region's women. Until the 1940s, traditional Palestinian costumes reflected a woman's economic status, whether married or single, and the town or district of origin, and a knowledgeable observer could glean such information from the fabric, colors, cut, and embroidery motifs (or lack thereof) in a given woman's apparel.
