"An ode to women born in Paris, from 3 months to 101 years of age. This panorama in portraits of the City of Lights moves me deeply and makes me glad to be Parisian."

Artist and photographer Marie Louise Nijsing met with over 100 women, all born in Paris and still living there to record their realities in all their diversity: social milieu, professional involvements, birthplace, lifestyle. What a feat! She soon came across incredible life stories, from the outrageous to the discreet, from enterprising and passionate women, very human encounters that left a deep impression. There's no denying her conclusion: the women of Paris are strong personalities often engaged in social activism with great esprit de corps and, above all, profoundly attached to their city of choice, Paris.
