We Will Wait:
The Wives of French Prisoners of War : 1940-1945
One of the nation's most accomplished younger scholars in modern French history, Professor Fishman is the author of We Will Wait: The Wives of French Prisoners of War, 1940-1945. Her study challenges earlier assumptions about the catalytic nature of modern war in changing the status of French women. Since receiving her Ph.D. from Harvard in 1987, Professor Fishman has published a number of important articles on Vichy France, including "Grand Delusions: The Unintended Consequences of Vichy France's Prisoner of War Propaganda," in The Journal of Contemporary History. She is recipient of the university's 1993 Research Excellence Award.
