호텔 바비즌

The story of The Barbizon feels like a microcosm of changing gender roles in 20th-century America. I'm curious what motivated Bren to highlight this particular hotel and its residents.

Reading about the women who stayed at The Barbizon made me wonder how much has really changed since then. I’d love to hear if others felt inspired or reflective while reading.

The anecdotes and stories seem vivid, but I wonder how much creative license was taken. Did the author uncover detailed personal accounts or rely on broader historical narratives?
