The craft, trade, or process of making brooms.
From broommaker + -ing (gerund suffix), or from broom + making. Represents both the action and the skilled trade itself.
Broommaking was such an important craft that it spawned its own technical vocabulary—fiber selection, binding techniques, handle shaping—proving that even simple objects required real expertise and knowledge.
Broommaking was historically gendered female labor in many Western contexts, associated with domestic work and informal economy. The predominantly female workforce in broom manufacture during industrialization remains largely invisible in craft narratives.
Use 'broommaking' neutrally; when discussing history, acknowledge that most practitioners were women whose skilled labor was undercompensated.
Women broommakers held technical knowledge and economic agency through this trade, though institutional records rarely credited them by name.
