Episode Description from the Publisher

Women are expected to be quiet and complacent. Where such an expectation would limit most women, a few have managed to use it for the greater good. When the NAZIs occupied the Netherlands during the second World War, resistance took many forms. For these ladies of liberty, it took on a violent and righteous resistance. Hannie Schaft, Freddie and Truus Oversteegen were known to on occasion to use their beauty to lure NAZI soldiers to their deaths, but that hardly scratches the surface of these courageous women. This week on Well, I Laughed we take a moment to appreciate these fearless freedom fighters.   00:00:00 Catch-Up 00:23:07 Lady Liberty 00:34:04 The Oversteegen Girls 00:43:30 First Acts of War & Rebellion 01:00:28 Here is your mission, should you choose to accept it 01:10:04 Meet the Team 01:15:17 Learning the Dirty Work 01:33:52 Beginning of the End 02:04:14 Remembering Hannie "Jo" Schaft 02:08:54 Living After the War 02:17:26 Recognition...
