Opinion Today: Who was the shaved woman of Chartres?

Robert Capa’s photo, and its subject, became a symbol. But the history is more complicated.

One of those women, Simone Touseau, was captured by the war photographer Robert Capa in an image that would become infamous. In it, a young, shorn Touseau clutches an infant in the middle of a crowded street in Chartres. Some of the people around her appear to be jeering her; others just stare. Robert Capa’s indelible photo, from 1944. Simone Touseau had had a child with a German soldier.Robert Capa/International Center of Photography, via Magnum Photos For a long time, Capa’s image was understood as a document of an [iniquitous and gendered](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnSbt1P0T7aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhlZ3VhcmRpYW4uY29tL2xpZmVhbmRzdHlsZS8yMDA5L2p1bi8wNS93b21lbi12aWN0aW1zLWQtZGF5LWxhbmRpbmdzLXNlY29uZC13b3JsZC13YXI_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzExMjkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA4ODU1Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MTIzOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZV91NmdlYVScnFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) punishment. And many of the women who were shaved were unfairly singled out — often by newly minted members of the Resistance. But the truth about Touseau was more complicated, as Valentine Faure [writes in a guest essay](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnSbt1P0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8yNS9vcGluaW9uL3NpbW9uZS10b3VzZWF1LWZyYW5jZS1vY2N1cGF0aW9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzExMjkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA4ODU1Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MTIzOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZV91NmdlYVScnFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD). Touseau “scribbled swastikas in the pages of notebooks she kept as early as the mid-1930s, admired National Socialism and claimed that France ‘needs someone like Hitler,’” Faure writes. Fluent in German, she worked as a translator for the occupiers. She joined an ultranationalist political party. She was accused of denouncing four neighbors who were sent to a concentration camp, two of whom never returned. When I read Faure’s initial email with her idea for the essay, the first thing I did — of course — was Google the photo. The clearly suffering figure in the center of the crowd immediately evoked my sympathy. Could she have been misunderstood? A victim of circumstances? But Faure, who interviewed one of the historians who helped uncover the facts of Touseau’s life, makes a case for sitting with the complex portrait of a committed political collaborator. “Women collaborated out of cowardice, self-interest and a whole range of ideological fervor,” she writes. “A reality we should contemplate frankly if we’re to have a proper accounting of the history of the war in France.” [Read the guest essay:](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnSbt1P0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8yNS9vcGluaW9uL3NpbW9uZS10b3VzZWF1LWZyYW5jZS1vY2N1cGF0aW9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzExMjkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA4ODU1Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MTIzOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZV91NmdlYVScnFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) [[Article Image] Robert Capa/International Center of Photography, via Magnum Photos](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnSbt1P0TpaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8yNS9vcGluaW9uL3NpbW9uZS10b3VzZWF1LWZyYW5jZS1vY2N1cGF0aW9uLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMzExMjkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA4ODU1Jm5sPW9waW5pb24tdG9kYXkmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MTIzOSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZV91NmdlYVScnFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) [GUEST ESSAY Who Was the Real ‘Shaved Woman of Chartres’?
