The book further explores the changing circumstances of women's access to literature and education throughout the centuries in different cultures and societies. Chronologically arranged, the volume opens in ancient times, exploring civilizations as diverse as Mesopotamia, Greece and China. Artworks featuring reading women range from Pompeii frescoes to important works by artists through the centuries. The result is a beautifully illustrated cultural history of women reading, as fascinating and inspiring as the accomplishments it honors.
