What does it mean to be a Parisian woman in the 21st century? To mark the French-language release of writer and journalist Lindsey Tramuta’s myth-busting book The New Parisienne: The Women and Ideas Shaping Paris, or La Nouvelle Parisienne in French, join us for a conversation between Tramuta and New Yorker staff writer Lauren Collins (author of “When in French”) on how women in Paris are forging the way for a more progressive city, the diversity and creativity of the modern woman in the French capital, and why it’s time to say au revoir to the outdated archetype of the Parisian woman.
