Behind Enemy Lines: The Untold Stories of Italy’s Female Warriors Who Sabotaged the Nazis
Drawing from the memoirs of these women and other first-hand accounts of the people who worked alongside them, Suzanne ensures that women’s efforts to liberate Italy are not forgotten or underestimated.
Suzanne Cope’s narrative nonfiction has been published widely, and she is an Associate professor at New York University. I spoke with her from her home in Brooklyn.
Hillary Moses Mohaupt: First, congratulations on this book. You write in the epilogue about how what counts as resistance is evolving, both when we think about World War II and those occupations, and even now, as we talk about resistance today. I’m excited to talk with you, partly because this is such a timely and important book about the significant contributions of women fighting to protect and defend their communities in Italy.
