Meet the dazzling women of Paris: from Colette to Nancy Mitford; Marie Antoinette to Coco Chanel; Madame de Stael to Pamela Harriman; Napoleon’s Josephine to Edith Wharton. Rule-breakers and style-setters, demimondes and diplomats, these women were utterly diverse, yet all shared one common passion — Paris, the world’s headquarters of femininity.
At a turning point in her life, Lucinda Holdforth journeys to Paris and takes a very personal tour through the lives, loves, and losses of its celebrated women. She evokes the city’s incarnations from Louis XIV through the French Revolution, two world wars and the Paris of the new millennium. As she walks in their footsteps, she draws inspiration from the fascinating women who created and nurtured the world’s most civilized city. Sophisticated, witty, and intelligent, this entrancing travelogue will seduce and inspire every woman in search of her own true pleasures.

评分——漫谈《爱、自由与欢愉》 巴黎有什么?有凯旋门,有埃菲尔铁塔,有雨果故居,有左岸文化,有香奈儿、还有第七区的荣军院。不,这还不够。如果巴黎只是由胜利、书香、浪漫、奢华、以及荣誉所构成,那么巴黎就不是欧洲之都。巴黎之所以是巴黎,是因为它不仅属于男人,更属于...
评分当女大学生在印度中巴上遭到轮奸致死时;当李阳把美国妻子打得遍体鳞伤逃回原籍时;当乡间懦弱的丈夫躲在角落里听到妻子被强暴而小声报警时;丑陋的现实终于倒影在波伏娃第二性的镜子里。至今,没人能说清楚女性主义的主旨,但有一点是可以肯定的,就是在全世界实现男女平等。...
