Join us for a discussion of Paulina Bren's The Barbizon: The Hotel That Set Women Free.
Built in 1927 at the height of the Roaring Twenties, the Barbizon Hotel was intended as a safe haven for the "Modern Woman" seeking a career in the arts. Over the years, its almost 700 tiny rooms with matching floral curtains and bedspreads housed Titanic survivor Molly Brown; actresses Grace Kelly, Liza Minnelli, Phylicia Rashad, and Cybill Shepherd; writers Sylvia Plath, Joan Didion, and Meg Wolitzer; and many more. No place had existed like it before or has since.
