Over dit product

Product Information

In central Brussels stands a statue of a young woman. Built in 1923, it is the first monument to a working-class woman in European history. Her name was Gabrielle Petit. History has forgotten Petit, an ambitious and patriotic Belgian, executed by firing squad in 1916 for her role as an intelligence agent for the British Army. After the First World War she was celebrated as an example of stern endeavour, but a hundred years later her memory has faded. In the first part of this historical biography Sophie De Schaepdrijver uses Petit's life to explore gender, class and heroism in the context of occupied Europe. Petit's experiences reveal the reality of civilian engagement under military occupation and the emergence of modern espionage. The second part of the book focuses on the legacy and cultural memory of Petit and the First World War. By analysing Petit's representation in ceremony, discourse and popular culture De Schaepdrijver expands our understanding of remembrance across the 20th century.

Reviews
"An excellent study of the life and afterlife of a young woman turned spy turned martyr turned icon of sacrifice. It is a fine and powerful addition to the growing literature on the cultural history of the Great War." -- Jay Winter, Charles J. Stille Professor of History, Yale University, USA "An unusual story, beautifully told, of a young woman who spied for the Allies behind the Western Front, was captured by the Germans, and executed. Unlike the death of nurse Edith Cavell, whose execution caused a worldwide uproar, Gabrielle Petit's fate went almost unnoticed at first. Only after the armistice would her contemporaries, to whom she was a modern Joan of Arc, raise her to the status of national heroine. With all the skill of a Natalie Zemon Davis, Sophie De Schaepdrijver brings to life a figure who fought the first German occupation of Europe in the twentieth century. This is at once the biography of a woman and her achievement of autonomy, and a riveting account of dangerous intelligence work, hitherto previously unknown. The sophisticated world of German counter-intelligence that rolled up the Allied espionage networks is equally well treated. Furthermore, the book analyses the construction of memory, that vital ingredient of our culture. Using biography to unlock the multiple histories of the war, it is nothing short of a triumph of modern historiography. A must-read for all those interested in the First World War." -- Alan Kramer, Professor of European History, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, An excellent study of the life and afterlife of a young woman turned spy turned martyr turned icon of Belgian sacrifice. It is a fine and powerful addition to the growing literature on the cultural history of the Great War.
