Paying acute attention to the differences that gender made, \u003ci\u003eWomen Defying Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e examines the forms of women's defiance, the impact these women had, and the moral and ethical dilemmas they faced. Several essays also address the special problems of the memory and historiography of women's history during World War II, and the book features standpoints of historians as well as the voices of survivors and their descendants. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNotably, this book also serves as a guide for human behaviour under extremely difficult conditions. The book is relevant today for challenging discrimination against women and for its nuanced exploration of the conditions minorities face as outspoken protagonists of human rights issues and as resisters of discrimination. From this perspective the voices being empowered in this book are clear examples of the importance of protest by women in forcing a totalitarian regime to pause and reconsider its options for the moment. In revealing so, \u003ci\u003eWomen Defying Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately foregrounds that women rescuers and resisters were and are of great continuing consequence.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNathan Stoltzfus \u003c\/b\u003eis Rintels Professor of Holocaust Studies and of History at Florida State University, USA.
