Rather than attacking either the reporter or the editor about the inaccuracy of the statement they printed why not use this as an opportunity to educate the press and their readership about lace and lacemakers. Clearly, reporters, whether men or women, cannot research every filler line used in newspapers. You could start by explaining just how the incorrect information has been passed along then go on to discus the actual history of any famous lacemakers or the lack of them and what all that means in view of the treatment of women in *his* story. A bit about lace with a comparison of early lacemakers with those practicing the art today would make an interesting human interest story.
