Description

The city of Paris has often been portrayed as a seductive, mysterious woman - both mistress ans muse to generations of male poets from Baudelaire to e.e. cummings to Louis Aragon. But of course, not all those drawn to the City of Light have been men. In particular the lives and work of modernist women avant la guerre offer us a very different view of Paris during its most magical era.
