Events & Programs

Join us for a walk through the Left Bank while we explore the lives and environment of some astounding 20th century women. During this tour, you will learn of American, British, and French women who lived, loved, worked, and dreamed in Paris from the 1900s through Les Années Folles (The Crazy Years) of the 1920s and the German occupation of World War II to recent times. Most of the women described in this tour reached the peak of their intellectual efforts before World War II; one in particular achieved renown after this war. Several of them have been all but forgotten.
