Abstract
When Bernarda Alba attributes “Needle and thread for women, whip and mule for the men”, she describes a spacial distinction, interior/exterior, and a distinction of gender that can be followed throughout Lorca’s plays. Quotes from Mariana Pineda, Blood Wedding, Yerma, Doña Rosita the Spinster, The House of Bernarda Alba, and The Public disclose the variations on the above rule in what refers to embroidering and sewing.
