Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel and the Pulse of History by Rhonda K. Garelick

3.0

One of the people throughout history that I have found to have one of the most fascinating lives is that of Coco Chanel.

With a life steeped in mystery and drama (mostly of her own making and legend) and with so many books have been written about her I have found out a lot of information that I never knew. I must admit that Rhonda K Garelick’s book seems to be the most comprehensive and the book that is most willing to look at Chanel’s many flaws and bad decisions. Mademoiselle is an in-depth account of the life and loves that helped shape the woman she become. It celebrates her victories along with looking at her dark and often insidious past.

Love her or loathe her, you will definitely learn about Coco Chanel and learn to respect the impact that she had on feminism and fashion.

Mademoiselle – Coco Chanel and the Pulse of Historyby Rhonda Garelick is available now.
