Title: Sisters in the Resistance
Description: In Sisters in the Resistance, noted scholar and historian Margaret Collins Weitz weaves a remarkable collection of first-person interviews into a unique oral history of the women who fought for the French Resistance.

The result is a vivid portrait of defiance and endurance that captures the unsung heroism, quiet courage, and ultimate triumph of the women in "the army of the shadows." Candidly, calmly, and modestly, the women speak - many for the first time - about the driving forces behind their struggle, the ideals that motivated them, and the daily hardships and bitter realities of life in occupied France.
