  'An Irish Woman's Book of Days' is a luxurious collection of some of the world's most appealing paintings. Each page presents a full-colour reproduction of an image of womanhood from the sixteenth century to early in this one. Romantic, delicate and sensitively chosen, these works of art depict women of elegance and style who have inspired artists throughout history. Also on each page is an absorbing list of famous women's birthdays, old proverbs and thought-provoking quotations from poetry and prose. The quotations are all by or about women, very often the fount of wisdom and wry comment down the ages. With space to write notes for every day of the year, and completed with engravings, small colour details and softly tinted and decorated pages, this book of days is a volume to use again and again - and to treasure for always.
