In the Shadow of Jean Moulin, the Forgotten Women of Caluire

The recent film "Moulin" by László Nemes highlights the significant yet often overlooked role of women in the French Resistance, particularly during the events surrounding Jean Moulin's arrest in Caluire. Despite their crucial contributions, female figures like Lucie Aubrac are frequently marginalized in historical narratives. The film aims to shed light on these women's sacrifices and the broader context of the Resistance, which faced numerous setbacks leading to the Caluire incident. Historians note that the arrest of Thérèse Floiras in April 1943 marked a turning point for the clandestine struggle.
