Publisher's Synopsis
The universe is made of stories, not of atoms. --Muriel Rukeyser A pleasurable entertainment for some, the conduit of knowledge and self-actualization for others, reading has long been a force that empowers women to engage their dreams. Here we celebrate the reading woman--her contentment, absorption, and quiet reveries--as well as the fondness artists have demonstrated for depicting a woman lost in thought. In this calendar are twelve images of women with their books, their letters, and their journals. Accompanying each image is an illuminating or amusing quotation on the subject of readers and reading. It's a combination sure to spark your imagination in 2019. All of Pomegranate's calendars are printed with soy-based inks on FSC(R) certified paper, which means the paper has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council(TM) and manufactured by an FSC certified printer. FSC certification promotes responsible forest management by ensuring that forestry practices are environmentally responsible, socially equitable, and economically viable. FSC license code FSC N001864.
