• Although women played an essential role in the French Resistance during the Second World War, they have often been forgotten by history. The Association pour la Recherche sur l'Occupation et la Résistance en Morvan (Association for Research into the Occupation and the Resistance in Morvan) is paying tribute to them with an exhibition of its own. This exhibition, entitled "Raconte-moi la Résistance au féminin" ("Tell me about the Resistance through the eyes of women"), gives an insight into the participation and actions of women in this clandestine struggle. As liaison officers or nurses in the maquis, helping with supplies or accommodation, women took on many tasks that were vital to the logistics of the Resistance, while running the same risks as men.
