“VOICE OF THE WOMEN”
CLANDESTINE NEWSPAPER IN FRANCE. REFUSAL TO ACCEPT DEFEAT. German Gestapo agents are hunting France to find the woman who edits the women's clandestine paper, “La Voix de la Femme" (the voice of the women). “La Voix de la Femme” appears regularly. It is slipped into the market bag of the woman waiting patiently in a queue. Someone whispers, “Read it when you are at home.” It exposes all the ramps engineered by the German masters of France. But it has its practical and. decidedly feminine side, and it is strange Jo think how at least one woman, perhaps more than one. is risking prison, quite possibly death, as she writes an article on how to make clothes go farthest in spite of Nazi restrictions. There is advice about taking care of Lhe health of the children. There is also very sound opinion about Vichy, Darlan and all who failed in the great hour of need and took the easy path of collaboration. Women 'are warned above all not to go to work in Germany. Every line breathes ardent patriotism and refused to accept cleefat and collaboration. No wonder the Germans try so hard to catch the editress.
