Overview

Often reduced to a handful of romantic clichés - that of a young messenger on a bicycle or a fighter posing with her machine gun slung over her shoulder - women have long remained invisible in the history of the French Resistance. And yet, in a defeated, humiliated country deprived in part of its male population, women were the first to react and initiate a spirit of resistance. Through five individual destinies, this collection highlights the crucial role played by women between 1940 and 1944.
