Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Paris Is a Woman's Town' is a sophisticated and charming guide to the French capital during the late 1920s, specifically curated for the female traveler and resident. Written by Helen Josephy and Mary Margaret McBride, this work offers an intimate and detailed look at Parisian life during the height of the Jazz Age, focusing on the experiences of women navigating the city's social, professional, and cultural landscapes. From the prestigious fashion houses of the Rue de la Paix to the bohemian atmosphere of the Left Bank, the book serves as both a practical manual and a social commentary on one of the most vibrant periods in history. The text delves into a wide array of topics, including high fashion, dining, housing, education, and the nuances of Parisian etiquette. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of both the visiting American tourist and the seasoned expatriate, detailing the best places to shop, live, and socialize. By highlighting the opportunities and challenges faced by women in the city, 'Paris Is a Woman's Town' stands as a significant historical document that captures the independent spirit of the modern woman in the early 20th century.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. JOSEPHY, Helen and MCBRIDE, Mary Margaret [299] pp. Coward-McCann, Inc. 1929 8 3/8" x 6" The companion volume to London Is a Man's Town, this book is written for the American heiress or bride planning an interlude in Paris perhaps a few weeks to purchase couture or maybe a year or longer to savor its culture and nightlife. The authors know the milieu well, and in retrospect, they offer a perfect time capsule of international Paris society in the era between the wars, with fascinating descriptions of its couture houses, the social calendar, the restaurants, nightclubs, neighborhoods, etc. Paris society is a curious mixture. For years, American climbers with money and no social prospects in New York have crossed the ocean and started over again on the other side. If they succeed in Paris or London, they can sneak in the back door and storm the gates of Newport itself. --Helen Josephy.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. JOSEPHY, Helen [355] pp. Coward-McCann, Inc. 1930 8 1/2" x 6" Jacket design by Helen E. Hokinson London might be a man s town, but this travel guide, geared towards socially inclined Americans, is just the sort of book Wallis Simpson might have found useful when she first moved across the Atlantic (it was published in that era). It includes sections on the best hotels, tailors, clubs, and restaurants (with emphasis on the boldfaced names to be seen in each). The book is uncommon; the dust jacket even more so. We think it s a pity Americans who rent country houses in England can t take on the owners, too, so that they may be shown how to properly enjoy the places. --Helen Josephy.…
