The fashionable women of interwar Bucharest

Review by Mariana Neţ
Street scene. Cars are back to back on the road. The pavements are also full of people. The narrow street is surrendered by three and four storey buildings.
In The Women of ‘Little Paris’ (Bloomsbury, 2024), Sonia-Doris Andraș examines middle-class women in interwar Bucharest and their consumption of fashion, offering readers a glimpse into a modernising Romania. Mariana Neţ describes the book as a kaleidoscope of information, providing valuable insights into the country’s nation-building during the interwar period.
