“A girl holds a vase of snowdrops in her splendid graceful hands: this little plant represents life and hope; delicate and fragile, these flowers are not knocked down by the cold and snow, but bloom right in the heart of winter.

Snowdrop women: delicate, often very fragile, but capable of finding within themselves the resources to face the winter of their lives and blossom again.”
