Martyred women militants replaced marriage as the model for Algerian female identity

Evidence

In Algerian society stories were told of women who in ever greater number suffered death and imprisonment in order that an independent Algeria might be born. It was these militant women who constituted the points of reference around which the imagination of Algerian feminine society was to be stirred to the boiling point. The woman-for-marriage progressively disappeared, and gave way to the woman-for-action. The young girl was replaced by the militant, the woman by the sister. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 365 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
