Eye Prefer Paris Book of the Month: The New Parisienne: The Women and Ideas Shaping Paris

I am happy to have The New Parisienne: The Women and Ideas Shaping Paris by Lindsey Tramuta as my selection for this month. The new book is a follow up to the best-selling The New Paris, which Lindsay wrote in 2017. 

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 activists, creators, educators, visionaries, and disruptors—like Leïla Slimani, Lauren Bastide, and Mayor Anne Hidalgo—the book reveals Paris as a blossoming cultural center of feminine power. Both the featured women and Tramuta herself offer up favorite destinations and women-owned businesses, including beloved shops, artistic venues, bistros, and more. The New Parisienne showcases “Parisianness” in all its multiplicity, highlighting those who are bucking tradition, making names for themselves, and transforming the city.

Hi Richard,
I bought the book and can attest to its relevance in today's Paris. Time to get rid of those stereotypes of French women. No one should have to try to live up to those crazy standards. It isn't the real world. Those whom Lindsey has written about are the real women of Paris and France
