# The New Parisienne

The New Parisienne: The Women & Ideas Shaping Paris is a 2020 non-fiction book written by New York Times journalist Lindsey Tramuta and with photography by Joann Pai. It was originally slated to release in April 2020, but was pushed to July later that year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the murder of George Floyd. It features profiles of 40 Parisian women, including activists, writers, and chefs.

## Summary

The summary from Abrams Books is:
   Lifting the veil on the mythologized Parisian woman—white, lithe, ever fashionable—Lindsey Tramuta demystifies this oversimplified archetype and recasts the women of Paris as they truly are, in all their complexity. Featuring 50 activists, creators, educators, visionaries, and disruptors the book reveals Paris as a blossoming cultural center of feminine power. Both the featured women and Tramuta herself offer up favorite destinations and women-owned businesses, including beloved shops, artistic venues, bistros, and more. The New Parisienne showcases "Parisianness" in all its multiplicity, highlighting those who are bucking tradition, making names for themselves, and transforming the city.
