Paris Was a Woman with Greta Schiller (Filmmaker), Andrea Weiss (Filmmaker), Laura Flanders (Moderator)

Women (many of them lesbian) artists, writers, photographers, designers, and adventurers settled in Paris between the wars. They embraced France, some developed an ex-pat culture, and most cherished a way of life quite different than the one left behind.
