An excellent look at an inspiring woman who led a world-changing group of the French Resistance during WW2. It’s incredible to me how much she and others accomplished no matter who thought little of her or even thought she and her people were collaborators. I don’t know how you live in secret like that knowing you’re on the right side while everyone shuns and hates you - and at the same time walk the edge of discovery and death by the enemy.
It’s also so amazing to me how much Fourcade and the other women did while continually being dismissed as a woman, especially after the fact. The difference they made in the war was insurmountable. So inspiring.
The book was also extremely well written and didn’t feel like it dragged at all.
