520 2  "What did it feel like to be a woman living in Paris from 
       1939 to 1949? These were years of fear, power, aggression,
       courage, deprivation and secrets until--finally--renewal 
       and retribution. Even at the darkest moments of Occupation,
       with the Swastika flying from the Eiffel Tower and pet 
       dogs abandoned howling on the streets, glamour was ever 
       present. French women wore lipstick. Why? It was women 
       more than men who came face to face with the German 
       conquerors on a daily basis--perhaps selling them their 
       clothes or travelling alongside them on the Metro, where a
       German soldier had priority over seats. By looking at a 
       wide range of individuals from collaborators to resisters,
       actresses and prostitutes to teachers and writers, Anne 
       Sebba shows that women made life-and-death decisions every
       day, and often did whatever they needed to survive. Her 
       fascinating cast of characters includes both native 
       Parisian women and those living in Paris temporarily--
       American women and Nazi wives, spies, mothers, mistresses,
       and fashion and jewellery designers. Some women, like the 
       heiress Béatrice de Camondo or novelist Irène Némirovsky, 
       converted to Catholicism; others like lesbian racing 
       driver Violette Morris embraced the Nazi philosophy; only 
       a handful, like Coco Chanel, retreated to the Ritz with a 
       German lover. A young medical student, Anne Spoerry, gave 
       lethal injections to camp inmates one minute but was also 
       known to have saved the lives of Jews. But this is not 
       just a book about wartime. In enthralling detail Sebba 
       explores the aftershock of the Second World War and the 
       choices demanded. How did the women who survived to see 
       the Liberation of Paris come to terms with their actions 
       and those of others? Although politics lies at its heart, 
       Les Parisiennes is a fascinating account of the lives of 
       people of the city and, specifically, in this most 
       feminine of cities, its women and young girls"--
