This was such a great book that it pains me to have to give it 4 stars. Why? Because the author uses endnotes!! And if she was only citing sources I wouldn't have a problem with it but once you start including extra information, having to flip back and forth is so freaking distracting and annoying. Extra information like the author includes here go as footnotes.
Otherwise this book is really really good! I have read a lot of Shoah material and I mean a lot but yet I had never hear of these women. The author also talks about things I had never heard before either.
If interested I also recommend Anne Sebba's book: Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved, and Die... Which discusses clothing quite a bit.
