Abstract: The paper highlights some of the numerous acts of heroism that Waldensian women performed from the late Middle Ages to the Modern Era. In the second part, instead, the famous text by Reformed pastor Jean Léger will be analyzed, which highlights the condition of Waldensian women as “prey of war”, during the notorious Piedmontese Easter massacres of 1655.
