The New Parisienne focuses on one of the city's most prominent features, its women. Lifting the veil on the mythologized Parisian woman--white, lithe, ever fashionable--Lindsey Tramuta demystifies this oversimplified archetype and recasts the women of Paris as they truly are, in all their complexity. Featuring 50 vibrant, inspiring activists, creators, educators, visionaries, and disruptors, the book reveals a new movement, with Paris blossoming into a cultural center of feminine power.
