Shorn Women: Gender and Punishment in Liberation France
Fabrice Virgili
At the end of World War II, over 20,000 French people accused of collaboration with Germany endured a particularly humiliating act of revenge: their heads were shaved in public. Nearly all those punished were women. This book sheds light on these acts of retribution and reveals that, a vast number of those women accused were actually innocent.
