Anthology:
The goal of
Impressions from Paris is to revisit the artistic, literary and journalistic contributions of French and expatriate women from different parts of the world, as they flocked to Paris during the interwar years (1925-1940). The overall principle lies in the inclusion of painters, visual artists, filmmakers and writers from diverse international and national backgrounds.
Contributors were asked to contribute original essays of 6000 words each, with a bibliography and short bio. Dr. Sylvie Blum-Reid. University of Florida:
