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 militant history in favour 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 their lives and pays tribute to these women, symbols of the feminist and anti-racist struggles.
