A bold life of fashion, independence, and reinvention—told for the next generation of changemakers.

From the orphanage to the runway, Coco Chanel’s story is one of grit, vision, and transformation. This engaging biography introduces the woman behind the little black dress, the iconic pearls, and the world’s most famous perfume.

Through vivid storytelling and rich historical context, explore how Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel defied expectations and reshaped the fashion industry forever. This engaging nonfiction biography is crafted for middle grade and teen readers and includes color and black-and-white photographs, a bibliography, a list of where to see her work, and an index.

Award-winning author Susan Goldman Rubin brings Chanel’s journey to life with clarity and inspiration, tracing her early struggles, her rise as a designer, and her fierce independence in a time when women were expected to marry rather than lead. The book explores Chanel’s rivalry with Elsa Schiaparelli, her groundbreaking designs like the quilted purse with gold chain, and her creation of Chanel No. 5—each a symbol of her enduring legacy.

This biography balances historical insight with accessible prose, making it ideal for classroom use, independent reading, or gift-giving to budding fashionistas and history lovers. Reviews praise the book’s “well-designed” layout and its empowering message for young audiences, highlighting Chanel’s determination to succeed on her own terms.

Coco Chanel: Pearls, Perfume, and the Little Black Dress is more than a fashion biography—it’s a celebration of creativity, courage, and the power of self-expression. Whether readers dream of designing, leading, or simply being themselves, Chanel’s story offers timeless inspiration.

“Rubin’s biography is clear-sighted about Chanel’s faults while extolling her fashion genius. Her source notes and bibliography are meticulous, as is the book’s design . . . This will attract young fashion mavens eager to learn about design history.” —Booklist

Book arrived damaged and ripped
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Book arrived on time but unfortunately it was damaged and ripped with a sticky residue in the back cover. Not worth buying new if the book comes in poor condition.

I was pleased to see the new complete translation of Picatrix by Dan Attrell and David Porreca released in the Magic in History Series of Penn State Press. Picatrix is central to European astrological magic that it deserves an academic treatment. In addition, the willingness of Penn State Press to release a complete translation of Picatrix shows how things have changed in the past decade and the yeoman work done by mages such as Austin Coppock, Alexander Cummins and Cliff Low to delve deeply into astrological magic. As the translators point out at page 2 this version of Picatrix is, "specifically intended for students and scholars of the history of science and magic" In addition to the complete text of the Latin Picatrix in English translation the translators provide useful historical accounts of the pre-history of Picatrix and of the Latin text, Picatrix's exposition of the path of the sage, the use of the terminology nigromancia for astrological magic and the cosmology of Picatrix. Most interesting is a statistical breakdown of the types of magic in Picatrix. Finally, the translators elucidate their view of the importance of psychoactive drugs in ritual, though the translators insist at page 28 that they do not, "wish to suggest that all magic in the Picatrix can be explained away as drug addled delusion…" Coming as it does from an academic perspective, focused on history and social science the Attrell and Porreca translation provides a valuable orientation and background for the contemporary practitioner of astrological magic. No single translation can do justice to a work as complex as Picatrix and anyone who is serious about astrological magic or interested in Picatrix should certainly get a copy of the Attrell and Porreca translation as well as the Greer and Warnock Picatrix and the forthcoming Arabic Picatrix translation.
