Saboteuse

‘Our spies’ are heroes or better still heroines (Nurse Cavell, who was less a spy than a saboteuse) although we can of course say nothing about them until they are caught and executed.

Then there is Haebangt’ap (Liberation Tower, 1953), whose adolescent but motherly heroine Chŏmsun, a saboteuse in UN-occupied Pyongyang, is constantly striving to cultivate the spontaneity of her younger male comrades.

These conspicuous “professionals” were facilitating a more diffuse sexual/national sabotage, where abortion really represented treason, where women were the symbolic saboteuses of France.
