Les Femmes d'Alger #32 depicts Danielle Minne also knows as Djamila Amrane Minne. She was the youngest of the female bombers and was the daughter of two French communists who were sympathetic to the Algerian cause. Danielle carried out multiple attacks and avoided detection largely based on her fair appearance and her French nationality. She was eventually captured, tortured and sentenced to death but was pardoned after the war. After the war she became a leading advocate for Algerian women and worked as a professor at the University of Algiers. She wrote the only book on the female Algerian combatants ever published. In the painting she is depicted at her trial covered in a hooded cloak. Her mother Jacqualine Netter also worked as a weapons smuggler for the FLN and was also captured and put in prison.
