Time and again, the men of the resistance are mentioned, but what about the women? It is hardly known that alongside Sophie Scholl, many other brave female resistors fought against the Hitler regime. Frauke Geyken sensitively recounts how they came into the resistance, what motivated them, whether and how they were discovered, and why they were forgotten for so long after 1945. This is a captivating homage to the struggle of women for freedom and justice. Sophie Scholl was 21 years old when she distributed the leaflets of the "White Rose." Cato Bontjes van Beek worked for the "Red Chapel" at the same age. The communist Antje Havemann dedicated herself at 30 to a united, free, socialist Europe. The master tailor Annedore Leber fought alongside the assassins of July 20 in her mid-30s, and the same-aged mother of four, Rosemarie Reichwein.
