Becoming Yourself in Paris | Parisian Conversations

Independence promised freedom, but Grace Brosnan finds herself craving the vulnerability she traded for it. Can modern women be both self-sufficient and emotionally open—or have we forced ourselves to choose? *Parisian Conversations* — *the woman before the bag.* Over coffee, we meet the Parisian behind the objects: her craft, her doubts, and what she can't live without.
