This week on Women of War Nicola and Hannah decide to offend the French one more time and talk about the early life and wartime activities of the Little Sparrow - better known as Edith Piaf.
This episode contains references to alcoholism, child neglect, child abuse, child death, anti-Semitism and atrocities committed during World War II.
This podcast is recorded on Wurundjeri land and we pay our respects to elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
All efforts have been made to ensure the accuracy of the information presented in this podcast however with the nature of historical research, there may be mistakes or inconsistencies.
Nicola has since watched La Vie En Rose, and she cried.
