The Sisterhood of RavensbrüCk

Lynne Olson

£22.00

For decades after World War II, histories of the French Resistance were written almost exclusively by men and largely ignored the contributions of women. Many current overviews of the subject continue to underplay the extent and importance of women's participation in the Resistance, treating the subject, in the words of one historian, as 'an anonymous background element in an essentially male story'. This book corrects that omission, surveying the bond between four women - Germaine Tillion, Anise Girard, Genevieve de Gaulle, and Jacqueline d'Alincourt - who fought valiantly against Nazi oppression.
