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.
