Paris and Her Remarkable Women
by Lorraine Liscio

This book evokes Paris from the Middle Ages through the twentieth century by tracing sixteen exceptional women whose lives intersected with Paris in remarkable ways and whose eventual fame depended on the city itself. Their stories bring to life medieval culture, Enlightenment ideas, the court of Louis XiV, the chaos of the Revolution, the nineteenth-century art scene, and twentieth-century breakthroughs in science and fashion. The sites associated with each of these women are located in the central parts of Paris that most visitors explore. When visiting Notre Dame, the reader will see the tragic figures of Abélard and Héloise in its shadows, and know to look for the enigmatic sculpture of Genevieve on the cathedral's facade. Elisabeth Vigée Le Brun's paintings in the Louvre and Camille Claudel's sculptures in the Rodin Museum will be all the more fascinating after readers have learned of the controversy they provoked.  Even those women whom most people thought they knew may prove surprising. Who would have guessed at the relation between Coco Chanel's convent-school origins and her fashions? What are we to make of Emilie du Chatelet's fame as Voltaire's mistress when he touts her as a "great man whose only fault was being a woman"?

seeking some balance

So, one of my workmates has a Gaiam BalanceBall Chair and he doesn't use it so I keep asking for it but he is not good at sharing - today's poll - do I 'borrow' it and see if he even notices or buy my own????

Comments please!!!! Good advice will receive a reward!!!!

From wikipedia on the Etymology of NyLon

In 1940, John W. Eckelberry of DuPont stated that the letters "nyl" were arbitrary and the "on" was copied from the suffixes of other fibers such as cotton and rayon. A later publication by DuPont explained that the name was originally intended to be "No-Run" ("run" meaning "unravel"), but was modified to avoid making such an unjustified claim and to make the word sound better.^[4] The story goes that Carothers changed one letter at a time until DuPont's management was satisfied.^{[citation needed]}.

An apocryphal tale is that Nylon is a conflation of "New York" and "London". Equally spurious is that the name stands for "Now You've Lost, Old Nippon" referring to the supposed loss of demand for Japanese silk.
