Petit dictionnaire des femmes de la Commune de Paris 1871

It is often said that during the Commune, women played a vital role. Yet these women remain surprisingly unknown. This book aims to bring them out of the shadows. This work also addresses the question of who women were. Through brief accounts of their actions and their convictions, their courage, their desire for freedom and equality is immediately evident. The author believes that one way to give them a place in history is to rehabilitate and help remove the wall of silence that still hangs on the history of the Commune.
