Description: In her talk, Suzanne will discuss the genesis and research journey of her narrative nonfiction book WOMEN OF WAR: The Assassins, Couriers, and Spies Who Fought the Nazis. She’ll tell how she first uncovered the stories of these intrepid women through what they left behind and give insight into her archival and on-the-ground research that led her to tracing the footsteps of these partigiane. Suzanne will also speak how her own Italian American heritage connected with these stories – particularly as this research intersected with her own pursuit of dual citizenship, shedding light on personal genealogical research.
