		Of all the women who took part in special operations in France, Odette - as she was universally known in spite of having borne three married surnames in her lifetime - perhaps best symbolized the indomitable spirit of resistance to Nazism.

		The media reported lasciviously on the demise of the gangster; Odette received a passing mention in the 'And finally...' section of the TV news bulletins.
		She chose to have her entry in Who's Who listed as 'Odette Hallowes, housewife' and it is to this sentiment and to the memory of a loving mother that I dedicate the writing of this song with heartfelt thanks, respect and humility.
