Paris Is a Woman's Town is a sophisticated and charming guide to the French capital during the late 1920s, specifically curated for the female traveler and resident. Written by Helen Josephy and Mary Margaret McBride, this work offers an intimate and detailed look at Parisian life during the height of the Jazz Age, focusing on the experiences of women navigating the city's social, professional, and cultural landscapes.

The text delves into a wide array of topics, including high fashion, dining, housing, education, and the nuances of Parisian etiquette. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of both the visiting American tourist and the seasoned expatriate, detailing the best places to shop, live, and socialize. By highlighting the opportunities and challenges faced by women in the city, Paris Is a Woman's Town stands as a significant historical document that captures the independent spirit of the modern woman in the early 20th century.
