Marie-Morgane Le Moël Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

French women have a mystique about them. They have, throughout the ages, been considered by some as a species apart for whom sex and sensuality are central to their identity. But are French women really a model of elegance, always perfectly dressed with designer clothes as the stereotype would have us believe? Are they all intellectual and classy, with a perfect waistline, even if they eat croissants au beurre all day long? Are they all sexually liberated, wearing kinky lingerie and bedding other women's husbands? The Truth About French Women focuses on who French women really are, and why they are more interesting than the cliches. It calls on women throughout French history who have defied societal norms and created their own destiny. French women who include heroines such as Jeanne d'Arc, the teenage girl who led the French army to success; the legendary femme sans-culottes, who were instrumental during the French Revolution; and Coco Channel, who not only built a fashion empire but who also liberated women from the constraints of the corset, allowing an unprecedented amount of physical love, art and politics.
