The following text: "In 1915 when she opened her bookshop called "La Maison des Amis des Livres" at 7 rue de l'Odéon, Adrienne Monnier was among the first women in France to found her own book store. While women sometimes assisted in a family bookstore, and widows occasionally took over their husband’s bookselling or publishing business, it was unusual for a French woman to independently set herself up as a bookseller. Nonetheless Monnier, who had worked as a teacher and as a literary secretary, loved the world of literature and was determined to make bookselling her career. With limited capital she opened her shop at a time when there was a genuine need for a new book store, since many book sellers had left their work to join the armed forces. As the renown of her shop spread, Monnier's advice was sought out by other women who hoped to follow her example and become booksellers." is problematic. First it's completely unsourced and second it overlooks the reality that throughout Western Europe millions of women were moving into less traditional roles as a result of millions of men being called up to fight in the trenches of the Great War. (This was not unique to France, it applied equally to the UK and Germany during and immediately after the war.) This was a vehicle for immense social change.)
