520    A flâneuse is, in Lauren Elkin’s words, “a determined 
       resourceful woman keenly attuned to the creative potential
       of the city, and the liberating possibilities of a good 
       walk.” Virginia Woolf called it “streethaunting,” Holly 
       Golightly epitomized it in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and 
       Patti Smith did it in her own inimitable style in 1960s 
       New York.  Part cultural meander, part memoir, Flâneuse 
       traces the relationship between singular women and their 
       cities as a way to map her own life—a journey that begins 
       in New York and takes us to Paris, via Venice, Tokyo, and 
       London—including the paths beaten by such flâneuses as the
       cross-dressing, nineteenth-century novelist George Sand, 
       the Parisian artist Sophie Calle, the journalist Martha 
       Gellhorn, and the writer Jean Rhys. With tenacity and 
       insight, Elkin creates a mosaic of what urban settings 
       have meant to women, charting through literature, art, 
       history, and film women’s sometimes liberating, sometimes 
       fraught relationship to the metropolis.
