When you think of the French Resistance of World War II, you may picture an unshaven man, Gitanes pushed into the corner of his mouth, Sten gun cradled in the crook of his arm.

Well, that’s only half the picture. Because the women of Holland, Belgium and France ran much of the Resistance.

Join Oswin, Carla and the historian of women’s lives, the great Anne Sebba, as we retrace Dedee’s steps and try to make sense of woman’s role in the war.
