Barbara Uthmann

Barbara Uthmann (born around 1514 in Annaberg in the Ore Mountains in Germany; died 14 January 1575, also in Annaberg) was considered to be one of the greatest supporters of bobbin lace making (probably incorrectly, as explained by Reinhart Unger in his work, Barbara Uthmann und ihre Zeit^[1]) and was a successful businesswoman in the Ore Mountains.^[2] Her last name has sometimes been spelled Uttmann, but the spelling Uthmann is generally considered to be correct today.^[3]
