The first book about the Nardal sisters, pioneers of the Black Cause in 1930s Paris.

Paulette, Émilie, Alice, Jane, Cécile, Lucie and Andrée: why have the Nardal sisters been erased from activist history in favor of Aimé Césaire and Léopold Sédar Senghor? What were their differences? From Fort-de-France to Paris via England and the United States - where Paulette became a member of the UN! - Léa Mormin-Chauvac retraces the lives of the Nardal sisters and pays tribute to these icons of feminist and anti-racist struggles.
