Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename, Nicole Minet, was only 18 when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration, slicing the tires of all of the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups.
She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, and blowing up bridges, helping to create a German-free path to help the Allied forces retake France from the inside. She was never caught.
She is still going strong and will turn 95 this October (2020).

「情況依然是,女人打扮得越漂亮,她就越受到尊重;她越是需要工作,絕佳的外貌對她就越是有利;姣好面容是一種武器,一面旗幟,一種防禦,一封推薦信。」
本句摘錄出自《第二性》第18章 社交中的女人,西蒙波娃透過此句話,來描述當時女性的社會處境。女性被當成客體存在,而女性的內在價值取決於她的外貌。因而,當時的女性有很高的機會需要仰賴她的外貌,換得工作機會或是社會地位。維持美麗的外貌,變成女人的義務。
西蒙波娃本句話,主要在提醒讀者,女性時常不被當成具有實質作為能力的主體,而是需要仰賴服裝、打扮,去體現自己的社會地位、引人注目。透過服裝得以遮掩身體、凸顯曲線,這些功能並不是幫助女性成為獨立的個體,而是被男性注目、引起男性慾望的客體。因此,西蒙波娃並不是在鼓勵女性仰賴外貌生存,而是在描述當時的社會處境。

simone france 在 王藍茵 Tangerine Facebook 的精選貼文
"First off, I’d like to thank God that lives in us all. Recently, John and I got to go to Selma and perform “Glory” on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the civil rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now is a symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transcends race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status. The spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the South side of Chicago, dreaming of a better life to those in France standing up for their freedom of expression to the people in Hong Kong protesting for democracy. This bridge was built on hope. Welded with compassion. And elevated by love for all human beings." Common
"Thank you. Nina Simone said it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live. We wrote this song for a film that was based on events that were 50 years ago, but we say Selma is now, because the struggle for justice is right now. We know that the voting rights, the act that they fought for 50 years ago is being compromised right now in this country today. We know that right now the struggle for freedom and justice is real. We live in the most incarcerated country in the world. There are more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850. When people are marching with our song, we want to tell you that we are with you, we see you, we love you, and march on." John Legend

Such a powerful acceptance speech on winning The Best Original Song "Glory" at the 2015 Oscars.

Common started off the moving speech:
First off, I’d like to thank God that lives in us all. Recently, John and I got to go to Selma and perform “Glory” on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the civil rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now is a symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transcends race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status. The spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the South side of Chicago, dreaming of a better life to those in France standing up for their freedom of expression to the people in Hong Kong protesting for democracy. This bridge was built on hope. Welded with compassion. And elevated by love for all human beings.
Then Legend took to the microphone, building off those sentiments:
Thank you. Nina Simone said it’s an artist’s duty to reflect the times in which we live. We wrote this song for a film that was based on events that were 50 years ago, but we say Selma is now, because the struggle for justice is right now.
