Ada, Frida, Silvia and Bianca were four young Piedmontese women who joined the Resistance, living clandestinely in the mountains surrounding Turin. They were not alone. Between 1943 and 1945, as the Allies battled their way north, thousands of men and women throughout occupied Italy rose up and fought to liberate their country from the German invaders and their Fascist collaborators. The bloody civil war that ensued across the country pitted neighbour against neighbour, and brought out the best and worst in Italian society. The courage shown by the partisans was exemplary, and eventually bound them together as a coherent fighting force. The women's contribution was invaluable - they fought, carried messages and weapons, provided safe houses, laid mines and took prisoners. Ada's house deep in the mountains became a meeting place and refuge for many of them. 600 10 $a Gobetti, Ada, $d 1902-1968. 600 10 $a Malan, Frida. 600 10 $a Pons, Silvia, $d 1919-1958. 600 10 $a Guidetti Serra, Bianca. 600 17 $a Pons, Silvia, $d 1919-1958. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01606755 600 17 $a Gobetti, Ada, $d 1902-1968. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00326726 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $z Italy. 650 0 $a Anti-fascist movements $z Turin. $z Turin. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Women $z Italy. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, Female. 651 0 $a Italy $x History $y German occupation, 1943-1945. 651 0 $a Italy $x Politics and government $y 1943-1947. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Mouvements de reÌsistance $z Italie. 650 6 $a Antifascisme $z Turin. $z Turin. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Femmes $z Italie. 650 6 $a Guerre mondiale, 1939-1945 $x Participation des femmes. 651 6 $a Italie $x Histoire $y 1943-1945 (Occupation allemande) 651 6 $a Italie $x Politique et gouvernement $y 1943-1947. 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Military participation $x Female. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353719 650 7 $a Anti-fascist movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810329 650 7 $a War $x Underground movements. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355184 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 651 7 $a Italy $z Turin. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205152 651 7 $a Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204565 648 7 $a 1939-1947 $2 fast 655 2 $a Biography 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 rvmgf 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781473547049 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718100136.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4122A68214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
