Of course women had advantages and vulnerabilities as resistance participants. The Nazis were sexists when it came to their beliefs women were to be mothers, homemakers and wives, so there was an opportunity to do espionage assignments with little detection or suspicion. For example, Sara's being selected to be the drop off for the short wave radio for encoded messages to the Soviets. A man shuttling the radio in a suitcase would've been so much more suspicious. Other women like Gaerta who were mothers were vulnerable because they had children to protect. Their value was truly in the low profiles in which they could hide.
