An action-packed graphic novel about agents who helped the Allies
prepare for D-Day and push the Germans out of France during World
War II. In 1942, World War II was growing more and more intense.
Germany and its allies had occupied a great deal of
Europe—including part of France. With the enemy just a few miles
from England, Prime Minister Winston Churchill was determined to
help free France. To make his plan work, he needed people who could
secretly help prepare the French for a big fight. He found 39
daring women who were up to the task—including Andrée Borrel and
Lise de Baissac. These women would help support the French
Resistance and sabotage German operations in preparation for the
1944 D-Day invasion. In this full-color graphic novel, discover
more about these bold women who helped free France from German
occupation during World War Il. Other Women Warriors of World War
