When analysing collective narratives and imaginaries about anti-totalitarian resistance in Europe, one issue that stands out is the scant attention paid to the role of women. With notable exceptions, the Resistance appears as “something men do”, and women are relegated to a secondary and subsidiary role.

WIRE coordinator, Javier Rodrigo, Historian and professor at  @UABBarcelona, explains the details of this two-year EU funded and its aims to place the role of women at the centre of present-day historical narratives of anti-totalitarian resistance in Europe, to help reshape historical memory and the values associated with it.
