- Summary:
- 'The Ladies' Paradise' recounts the spectacular development of the modern department store in late 19th-century Paris. The store is a symbol of capitalism, of the modern city, and of the bourgeois family; it is emblematic of consumer culture and the changes in sexual attitudes and class relations taking place at the end of the century.
