Literary Thursdays: Paulina Bren, Author of “The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free”

Award-winning author Paulina Bren will introduce you to New York’s legendary hotel for women, the Barbizon. Her book is the first-ever history of this extraordinary hotel, and of the women who arrived in New York City alone from “elsewhere” with a suitcase and a dream. “The Barbizon” offers readers a multilayered history of New York City in the 20th century, and of the generations of American women torn between their desire for independence and their looming social expiration date. By providing women a room of their own, the Barbizon was the hotel that set them free. Join us on Microsoft Teams: https://queenslib.org/4dVsgh
