..that ... I can't even remember where or when I bought this book, and I haven't read the text yet, but I could not resist the title. Here are some of the 100 or so wonderful illustrations. I think I'll keep the book out, under the lamp, and read a little of it every day for a while...

Oh, that looks wonderful. The paintings convey an inner power of knowledge and thought, into which nothing can encroach.

I've just looked up your book and saw there is actually one called "Women who write are dangerous" coming out in Oct!

It is and should have a subtitle 'Women Who Read Are Empowered'.

It´s a great book to have on display and read like that. I do so too. I own the one Lotta mentions also. The Dutch title would translated be Women Who Write Are Living Dangerously. I have two more by the same author, Stefan Bollmann, one in English:Women Who Write, it as a beautiful photograph of Virginia Woolf on the cover and one in Dutch, translated its title would be Women Who Read Are Free. They circulate a lot around our house and survive every clearing. I also use them as inspiration whenever I am in a reading slump to find inspiration for choosing a new book.

The translation has a very different meaning! Mine is by author Karen Joy Fowler - must check out yours...As for Vermeer - yes, timeless. Girl With A Pearl Earring is a favourite book and film of mine.
