| Description: |
Claude Cahun, born Lucy Schwob, was a French photographer, artist, and author. Cahun was associated with the Surrealist movement, and her photography and writings addressed issues of gender identity. In 1937 she moved to Jersey in the Channel Islands with her partner Suzanne Malherbe, an illustrator who adopted the name Marcel Moore. Cahun and Malherbe were active in the resistance during the German occupation of Jersey during World War II. They were imprisoned and sentenced to death in 1944, but were liberated at the end of the war.
