Women of war : the Italian assassins, spies, and couriers who fought the Nazis / Suzanne Cope.
This historical account examines the roles of four Italian women involved in resistance efforts during World War II. Drawing on primary sources and recent scholarship, historian Suzanne Cope documents the contributions of Carla Capponi, Bianca Guidetti Serra, Teresa Mattei, and Anita Malavasi, who engaged in underground resistance, sabotage, and intelligence work against Nazi forces and Italian fascists. The book highlights their activities within the broader context of the Italian resistance movement and explores the impact of their efforts on postwar Italian society. Women of War offers a reexamination of women's roles in wartime history and reflects on their legacy in relation to gender equality and social change.
