Paris in the 30s
"Women leaving home situations, in which, if they were going to be an artist or a writer they were going to need to find some way to juggle this against marriage, motherhood and the classic pattens of women's lives. And that they didn't want to do this. They wanted to be professional first and wanted to live independent lives. Once these women arrived in Paris, especially those women who crossed over into French avant-garde culture that was there, they discovered a richness in Paris they had never anticipated would be there before." - Shari Benstock, author of Women of the Left Bank
