I think she was an extraordinarily courageous woman in some ways.
I think that her dances, I think, have been sort of dismissed as musical nonsense.
But I interviewed a
French dance historian said no.
In fact, the dances that she invented have even taken on a new life quite recently, and they continue to be performed in music halls and in theaters in France ever since.
Yes.
And I think that she would probably be thrilled that we're still talking about her today.
I think she was guilty of what she was charged with.
And let's face it, she's tried by court martial.
They didn't need a whole great heap of evidence for that.
But I think that the punishment, there's a big question about the punishment.
Why was she executed?
They didn't need to execute her.
I mean, the French did execute other women, but it was quite late on in the war.
They tended to stop executing women later on in the war.
So I think that we cannot get away from the fact that she was
such a potent political figure and that was exploited yeah and continued to be exploited for well i don't know maybe it's still being exploited now because it's really hard to get the truth about this story out there i mean people want to believe in the fiction well they do don't they and so just to return briefly to to the premise of this little mini series super sluts
Yeah, yeah.
But I think that also she had a kind of meaning for women because I think that men and women have read this story differently.
I mean, if you want to sort of think about these sort of big gender categories.
