Women took part in perilous resistance missions during World War II
alongside a much larger number of male resistance agents. This book
presents the lives of eight women who, at profound risk to
themselves, chose to challenge the Third Reich. Hailing from
diverse regions of the world--the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and
North America--the women shared privileged backgrounds of financial
and social prominence as well as a profound sense of social
justice. As to their deeds with the Resistance, they ranged from
forging documents and hiding persecuted Jews to orchestrating
sabotage operations and crafting a nonviolent protest movement
within Nazi Germany itself. As could be expected, the costs were
great, capture and execution among them, but the women's
achievements did succeed in helping to win the war.
