<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A quirky, literary and beautifully packaged illustrated hardback for all women whose lives have been enhanced by cats.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A fascinating journey of discovery for independently minded cat lovers. One summer, Alice Maddicott was adopted by a beautiful tabby called Dylan, and together they shared six years of loving friendship. Alice collected second-hand photos - orphan images - and in her sadness after Dylan's death, she pored over the old photographs of women and their cats. Cats in gardens, cats on laps, cats in alleys and on steps, accompanied by women who were diffident and affectionate, fierce and whimsical, young and old. What did these cats mean to the women who cared for them? Why have cat-owning women always been viewed with suspicion? And where did the Crazy Cat Lady stereotype emerge from, when other cultures revere rather than fear this relationship? Examining these questions and many more, Cat Women is a moving exploration of wild natures and domestic affections.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Alice Maddicott is a writer and artist from Somerset, England.
