A Woman's Europe : True Stories

A Woman’s Europe explores the romantic and exhilarating continent of Europe (including the British Isles and Scandinavia) from a woman’s point of view. Women now represent the majority of leisure travelers and they are hungry for guidance from others who share their interests. They have always been drawn to Europe, whether to Italy’s sensuous landscapes and breathtaking art, to France’s romantic Riviera or effervescent Paris, to the deep spirituality of Celtic sites in Ireland and England or Goddess sites in Greece. The layers of history here resonate with women’s sensibilities, and the stories in this book bring this history to life through exploration of places that have hardly changed in centuries or carry clues to the past in their modern profiles, and encounters with people who maintain proud traditions while enjoying a vibrant modern life. Europeans in general are better than Americans at making time for life’s finer points, and the women in this collection show that they, too, know how to discover and appreciate the good life.
