Lucie Aubrac
Member of the French Resistance in World War II (1912–2007) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lucie Samuel (29 June 1912 – 14 March 2007), born Bernard and known as Lucie Aubrac (French pronunciation: [lysi obʁak] ⓘ), was a member of the French Resistance in World War II.[1] A history teacher by occupation, she earned a history agrégation in 1938, a highly uncommon achievement for a woman at that time. In 1939 she married Raymond Samuel, who took the name Aubrac in the Resistance.[2][3] She was active on a number of operations, including prison breakouts. Like her husband, she was a communist militant, which she remained after the war. She sat in the Provisional Consultative Assembly in Paris from 1944 to 1945.[4]
