Deep Roots. The Intellectual Works of Women of the Icelandic Parliament. Published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Cultural Fund of Women of the Icelandic Parliament. Editor Sólveig Anna Bóasdóttir. Editorial committee Elín Kristjánsdóttir, Hólmfríður Pétursdóttir, Kristín Sverrisdóttir and Sólveig Anna Bóasdóttir.
The book contains stories, tales, poems and songs by 180 women from the Þingeys. The poetry dates from the mid-eighteenth century until 2002. This is a diverse subject and much of it is the clearest and most heartfelt that has ever been written in the Icelandic language. The book provides a valuable insight into the language of women, the language that children absorb with their mother's milk and plays a major role in creating the foundation of the Icelandic language. The book is a true masterpiece in Icelandic cultural life. (Bókatíðindi 2002).
