How This Woman Became a Symbol of Resistance | NEGATIVES

Описание: Simone Segouin was 18 when she joined the local partisan unit, resisting Nazi occupation of France. She was given a false identity in the name of Nicole Minet. While she might have been young, she wasn’t there as a poster girl.

Soon she was conducting demolition and sabotage missions and armed attacks against the German invaders. When General Charles de Gaulle visited Chartres the press was astonished by her presence. A few days later she was headed to Paris in the final push to liberate her country. Her image became a symbol of female resistance around the world and inspired a generation.
