Our Fighting Sisters: Nation, Memory and Gender in Algeria, 1954-2012 (Hardcover)
Between 1954 and 1962, Algerian women played a major role in the struggle to end French rule in one of the most violent wars of decolonisation of the twentieth century. Our Fighting Sisters is the first in-depth exploration of what happened to these women after independence in 1962.
