"A highly original addition to the cultural history of the interwar period in Romania . [Of] interest to those researching the entanglement of gender and nation in and beyond Central and Eastern Europe, to scholars of fashion and popular culture, to historians of media, and not least to those interested in urban history." -- Journal of Romanian Studies "Carefully crafted, drawing on an extensive array of archival materials [and] complemented by an extensive body of secondary literature, which Andras skillfully integrates." -- Historical Yearbook "In this interdisciplinary book, Sonia-Doris Andras analyses an impressive array of visual and written materials, including the archive of her own family. The result is an original portrayal of modernising interwar Romania through the representations and self-representations of its middle-class fashionistas." -- Magdalena Craciun, University of Bucharest, Romania "An exemplar of the more nuanced, multifarious and plural Fashion Studies today, The Women of 'Little Paris' is remarkable for its consideration of fashion and all the visual arts, as well as popular and urban culture, literature and the press. The work is a fitting memorial to one of the experts in this field, the late Djurdja Bartlett." -- Peter McNeil, University of Technology Sydney, Australia " The Women of Little Paris is a valuable and fascinating book and the information presented within its pages is rich and detailed.


Sonia-Doris Andra? makes enticing and original analyses, often from unexpected perspectives. Her study pulls together a huge and wide-ranging volume of research material to draw pertinent and insightful conclusions." -- CEU Review of Books.
