"Lindsey Tramuta is a natural storyteller with an energetic and fluid writing style. Extremely enjoyable to read. Actually, I listened to this as an audiobook. Tramuta herself was the narrator and spoke with genuine enthusiasm and heart about each one of these impressive women." — Nadya, U.S.

"Another fascinating look under the hood of what makes Paris work. It is impossible to predict what the future Paris will look like, but it is a safe bet it will be better in many ways and the women portrayed here will play a big role in that. Again, the myth of Paris and Parisian women is far less interesting than the complicated and diverse reality. The wide array of viewpoints and the range of areas in which these women are working has me thinking differently about the future of NY and other cities as well."--Pat F., U.S.

"What astonishes me the most about this book is the wide variety of women that are featured. They represent so many different backgrounds and viewpoints that it really opened my eyes completely about what it can mean to be a parisienne and how lively and diverse the women of Paris are. It's a really refreshing book after all the books that repeat the same clichés about parisiennes." — David G, U.S.

"Lindsey Tramuta has captured not only the modern reality of Paris, as she did in "The New Paris," and the modern, diverse group that are Parisiennes in the 21st century; she also has quite brilliantly gone at the deeper issues that have prevented France, or at least many French, from acknowledging the reality of their country as it is today. Here's an extraordinary portrait of France — and many of its most talented women — as it truly exists, a shattering of the hoary prism we still tend to view it through ... all those baguettes and sailor shirts. If you love France (even if you love it for those old romantic midcentury clichés) this is an absolute must-read." — J.B., U.S.

"Tramuta's second book builds beautifully onto her first, The New Paris, in painting a modern portrait of a timeless city through the fascinating personal stories of the women shaping it. Tramuta skillfully combines a journalist's keen eye for a fresh story with a New Yorker-level passion for complex, personal profiles all while allowing her own clear voice and perspective shine through." — Ashley D, U.S.,

"This is a such an interesting deep-dive into the real Paris and the women who are shaping it by an exciting NYT writer." — Alice C., U.K.

Après le très réussi "The New Paris", Lindsey Tramuta explore une autre facette de la ville Lumière à travers les portraits et interviews de 40 Parisiennes d'horizons très divers, qu'elles soient activistes, scientifiques, journalistes, enseignantes, sportives ou artistes. Sublimé par les très belles photos de Joann Pai, le livre est aussi beau qu'intelligent, très bien écrit, et il offre une réflexion bienvenue sur le mythe de la "Parisienne". A s'offrir et à offrir." — Axelle M, France

"The New Parisienne skyrocketed to the top of my favorite reads of the year, and I know it's one I will return to again and again. I've been visiting Paris for years and, though its evolution is apparent even to guests, I didn't realize the extent or the dynamism of it until this book. That's the gift of a local like Lindsey Tramuta, who generously introduces us to "her" Paris which is far more compelling and beguiling than the monolithic clichés about it could ever be. The women she profiles each contributed a "favorite woman-run business" recommendation, and that list has essentially become my itinerary for my next visit to Paris. I've gifted this book. I've ordered its "prequel" (The New Paris). And I'm grateful for Tramuta's ultra-refreshing take on a Paris that's more inspiring, and more real, than ever." — Cathy H, U.S.
