This is the story of a demonstration for food organized by the underground French Communist party that took place at a central Parisian marketplace on May 31, 1942. The so-called "women's demonstration on the rue de Buci" became a cause célèbre. In this microhistory of the event, Schwartz examines the many moving parts of an underground operation; the lives and deaths of the protesters, both women and men; and the ways in which the incident was remembered,commemorated, or forgotten. The study is based on interviews with surviving resisters and on a rich documentary record
