The French Resistance is too often described in masculine terms. However, women played an important and neglected role. This new cycle of Parlons Histoire entitled "Les grandes figures féminines de la Résistance", pays tribute to these unsung heroines. Aubrac, De Gaulle-Anthonioz, Albrecht, Tillion and Fourcade are among them! Each month, we invite you to discover the exciting and tragic lives of these Braves among the Brave, who command respect and admiration...

Née en 1912, Lucie, femme rebelle et au caractère bien trempé, prend vite conscience de la montée des fascismes européens. Agrégée d’histoire, elle adhère aux Jeunesses communistes et épouse l’officier français, Raymond Aubrac. La guerre éclate. C’est le début d’une histoire dont elle n’imagine pas encore les ramifications: clandestinité, arrestations, évasions, torture... et Victoire ! Icône de la Résistance, elle s’éteint en 2007. Jacques Chirac déclare : “Toute sa vie, elle a su garder dans nos cœurs la flamme des luttes de la République pour la Liberté".
