Mademoiselle Fifi - Guy de Maupassant
During the Franco-Prussian War, a young French laundress shares a coach ride with several of her condescending superiors. When a Prussian officer holds the coach over, social standings are leveled and integrity and spirit are put to the test.
'Mademoiselle Fifi' is about a young French woman's bold defiance of a brutish Prussian soldier during the Franco-Prussian War. The story is not just the portrayal of bravery by a woman but also about social classes and the disparities still prevalent now.
