Elles transportaient des messages codes dans la doublure de leurs manteaux, geraient des hopitaux clandestins dans des grottes et des granges, hebergeaient des aviateurs allies dans leurs greniers et transmettaient des secrets depuis des chambres mansardees exigues tandis que des camions de detection allemands tournaient en rond en contrebas.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In 1943, a young Frenchwoman memorised the locations of every V-2 rocket site in Germany. She was twenty-four years old. The intelligence she carried in her head saved thousands of Allied lives. After the war, almost nobody knew her name.She was not alone. Across occupied France, women became the backbone of the Resistance, not as supporting players, but as spies, saboteurs, wireless operators, and leaders of entire intelligence networks. They carried coded messages in the linings of their coats, ran underground hospitals in caves and barns, sheltered Allied airmen in their attics, and transmitted secrets from cramped attic rooms while German detection vans circled below. The average life expectancy of a female wireless operator in occupied France was six months. They volunteered anyway.The Women of the French Resistance tells their stories, from the fall of France in 1940 to liberation, deportation, and the decades of silence that followed.You will meet: Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, who commanded the largest intelligence network in France, three thousand agents, answering to a woman the Gestapo called "the hedgehog"Jeannie Rousseau, the interpreter who stole the secrets of Hitler's V-2 programme from German officers who never suspected herNoor Inayat Khan, the British-Indian agent who operated alone as the sole wireless link in Paris for four months, and whose last word before her execution at Dachau was LiberteAdelaide Hautval, the psychiatrist who refused to participate in Nazi medical experiments at Auschwitz, telling an SS doctor: "In this camp, many people are different from me. You, for example"The seven nurses of the Grotte de la Luire, who stayed with their wounded in a cave in the Vercors mountains as German soldiers closed inTheir courage took every form: a farmer's wife diverting food from her own family to feed Maquis fighters. A nun hiding wounded men while German soldiers searched her convent. A schoolteacher memorising a fifty-five-foot map of enemy gun emplacements along the Normandy coast. A mother of three carrying a wireless transmitter across Paris in a pram.After the war, France forgot them. Men received medals and pensions. Women were told to go home. Their files were classified. Their names disappeared from official histories. It took decades, and the patient work of survivors who finally broke their silence, for the truth to emerge.This book restores that truth.Inside these pages: The espionage networks that changed the course of the war - and the women who ran themUnderground hospitals in caves, barns, and convents where women operated by candlelightThe harrowing journeys to Ravensbrueck and Auschwitz - and the resistance that continued inside the campsThe tontes: the public shaming of women after liberation, and the bitter injustice it representedHow recognition finally came - seventy years too late for mostPerfect for readers of A Woman of No Importance, Madame Fourcade's Secret War, Code Name Helene, The Nightingale, and Sisters in the Resistance.Written in vivid narrative prose and grounded in the historical record, this book draws on memoirs, declassified files, trial transcripts, and the testimonies of the women themselves. It is history that reads like a thriller - because the truth was more extraordinary than any fiction.They carried no rifles. They wore no uniforms. And they changed the course of the war.
