When you see this picture book, you'll have to buy it. An irreverent, insightful take on recent aspersions cast on women who love their cats, this book consists of ironic and sarcastic  collage renderings of women and their cats from across history.

This is a collection of 24 original collages with images of cats and women, inspired by U.S. Vice

President Vance’s offensive reference to “childless cat ladies.” The images include cartoonish

figures as well as interpretations of classic artists such as Degas, Kandinsky, Picasso and

Modigliani. The collection is inspired by Sally Swain’s Great Housewives of Art. (Grafton 

Books, 1988), and The Literary Cat. J. Suares & S. Chowast, (Push Pin Press, 1977).
