I'm doing a project, and I need 10 aspects on the day in a life of a Celtic woman, and I can't seem to find anything on it. I'm working with the Celts of Ireland and/or Scotland, so if anyone knows a place, that would be great.

Try going to a 'good library' and asking where their section is on 'the ancient Celt' or on 'ancient Ireland' and 'ancient Scotland' ... BEFORE THE DANES BEGAN TO INVADE ... there are 'many books' that will tell you 'how people lived' and what they did 'day after day' in both places ... and they will tell you about what the 'women' did as much as about what the men did, because IRELAND and parts of Scotland were places that were MATRIARCHAL and not 'patriarchal' ... THE WOMEN RULED, and even the next 'king' was chosen from the 'mother's line' because 'who knew' who the child's father 'really was'?
