Livingstone’s well-researched account of the post-WWII Nuremberg International Military Tribunal (November 1945–October 1946) succeeds in restoring what has largely been left out of historical narratives of the twentieth century’s most famous trial—the contributions of women. This book details the roles of eight women who participated in the proceedings: an American lawyer (Harriet Zetterberg), one British (Rebecca West) and two German (Erika Mann and Ursula von Kardorff) journalists, an artist (Laura Knight), an aristocratic refugee (Ingeborg Kálnoky), an Auschwitz survivor (Marie-Claude Vaillant-Couturier), and a Russian translator (Tatiana Stupnikova).
