Women of the Highlands
By Katharine Stewart
THE HIGHLAND FREE PRESS, 16 March 2007
`the grande dame of mainland Highland literature'
Dundee Courier,23 March 2007
"But when 92-year-old Katharine Stewart decided to write her
latest in a long line of books on Highland culture, she made a conscious
effort to explore the contribution of WOMEN to Highland history, charting
the development and preservation of the yarns, myths and songs that
contributed to the development of Gaelic civilisation, and the impact women
specifically have had on Highland history through the ages."
Scottish Review of Books,13 May 2007
`an uncomplicated look at history, the kind of take on historical
continuity that reassures and comforts, rather than disturbs or
unsettles.'
`her over-riding argument - that women of the Highlands contributed just as
much to the culture of the region as well as to its survival as its menfolk
did - is hard to refute.'
