Women's Representations of the Occupation in Post-'68 France

More about the book

The book explores the perspectives of French women writers on the Occupation in post-'68 France, focusing on two groups: 'The Women Resisters,' who fought during the war, and 'The Daughters of the Occupation,' born during or after that time. It argues that the older generation's emerging understanding of gender's role in political activism is transformed into explicit feminist narratives by younger female authors, highlighting the evolution of women's voices and experiences in the context of wartime France.
