Laconia New Hampshire : Evening Nonfiction Book Group “The Barbizon The Hotel That Set Women Free” by Paulina Bren ( Laconia ) - Women flocked to New York City during the Roaring Twenties . Even as women’s residential hotels became the fashion , the Barbizon stood out; it was designed for young women with artistic aspirations . More importantly , with no men allowed beyond the lobby , the Barbizon signaled respectability , a place where a young woman of a certain class could feel at home . The Barbizon Hotel became the go - to destination for any young American woman with a dream . The first ever history of this extraordinary hotel , and of the women who arrived in New York City alone from “elsewhere” with a suitcase and a dream , The Barbizon offers readers a multilayered history of the generations of American women torn between their desire for independence and their looming social expiration date . Sign - up for the book group is required , copies of the book are available at the Library . Call: ( 603 ) 524 - 4775 or Email: info@laconialibrary . org to register; held in the Laconia Rotary Hall Auditorium .
Laconia Rotary Hall (Auditorium),695 N Main St , Laconia, NH, 03246
