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.
Lucinda is the author of three non-fiction works: Leading Lines: How to make speeches that seize the moment, advance the cause and lead the way (2019), True Pleasures: A Memoir of Women in Paris (2004) and Why Manners Matter: The Case for Civilised Behaviour in a Barbarous World (2007).

评分最初读这本书的契机,是当时正在看BBC拍摄的一部关于印象派画家的记录片,他们是当时真正点亮巴黎的男人们,所以看到这本书,很想看看点亮巴黎的女人们又是什么样的。但是很快我就失望了,这并不是一本我想要的关于巴黎的书,这是在自由与爱之外,关于欢愉,关于八卦,关于风月...
评分别人的寂寞像白菜,而巴黎女人的寂寞却能论克卖。读完这样的一本书,我相信很多女性读者都会恨自己生不逢时、生不逢地吧。字里行间,我分明看到作者的哈喇子已经流满书了,O(∩_∩)O哈哈~在某一个或者几个时期,巴黎就是欲望的天堂。那些原本应该灰暗冷清的寂寞与孤独,一旦被...
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。...
