Book Reviews of Sisters in the Resistance

Book Review: A great compilation of oral histories, but bad conclusions.
Summary: 3 Stars

Excellent chapters on the behind the scenes aspect of the resistance, including social services, where women dominated the field. The book does not, however, include food riots and worker's strikes. These are two areas of resistance that women also participated in.

For the most part Weitz is willing to let her interviews speak for her, with informative results. Her own analysis and conclusions show feminist leanings, and are far from objective. The concluding chapter digresses into a barrage of stereotypes and gender comparison.

Still, if one ignores the author's own remarks and concentrates on the primary sources, this is a worthwhile book.
