A digitized 1929 guidebook for American women traveling solo to Paris

Paris Is a Woman's Town (1929)

Published in 1929, “Paris Is a Woman’s Town” was written specifically for American women crossing the Atlantic alone, and HathiTrust has fully digitized this rare copy page by page. The advice ranges from practical to delightfully of-its-era, covering everything from hotels to how to handle unwanted attention. It’s a small window into what independent travel looked like for women nearly a century ago.
