 Day 20 of my Inktober 2020 series of Women I Admire is Truus Oversteegen

Truus Oversteegen is the first of the Oversteegen sisters that I’m drawing. She was a Dutch sculptor and painter. During WW2, she and her sister joined the anti-Nazi Dutch armed resistance. When they were teens, they would go to an expensive bar, flirt with Nazis and lure them into the woods. They would “accidentally” run into a friend of theirs who would scold them for being in the woods. Then, the Nazi piece of shit was shot and killed, stripped naked so nobody would be able to tell who he was, and thrown into a grave that was already dug.
