, This book is dedicated to soap makers past and present—from the
mythical washerwomen of Mount Sapo, to the chandlers of the Middle
Ages, to the pioneers of the 1970s, to the hundreds of thousands of soap
makers today. We have all been enchanted by this seemingly common,
yet endlessly inspiring, substance.
