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.

评分作者一边游玩巴黎一边品评巴黎的历代女性。如果你把这本书当做游览法国巴黎的指南书,你错了;作者无组织无计划地东写一点巴黎的建筑,西写一段巴黎破碎的景致,偶尔夹杂一点无病呻吟的想法,零零散散地,不成体系,不能当做旅游指南;如果你把这本书当做了解法国巴黎女人的历...
