This calendar reproduces twenty paintings by renowned artists spanning the fifteenth to twentieth centuries—Ambrosius Benson, Jules Ernest Renoux, Frederick Carl Frieseke, and many others—all of whom appreciated the beauty of a woman with a book. Each image is accompanied by an illuminating or amusing quotation by a woman on the subjects of readers and reading. Also included are fifty-seven weekly grids and thirteen full-page monthly grids; double-page spreads of 2016 and 2017 yearly grids; a full 2016 calendar on the cover flaps; a list of international holidays; a world time-zone map; a 2017 year planner with US, UK, and Canadian holidays; pages for notes; and a personal information page.
