A Woman of No Importance

The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II

Sonia Purnell

Discover the incredible, untold story of Virginia Hall, one of the greatest American spies who changed the course of the Second World War. Despite being rejected from the foreign service due to her gender and prosthetic leg, Hall talked her way into Churchill's "ministry of ungentlemanly warfare" and became the first woman to deploy to occupied France. Coordinating a network of spies, she sabotaged enemy lines and recruited and trained guerrilla fighters while being hunted by the Gestapo. Through sheer persistence and bravery, Hall became known as the "Madonna of the Resistance" and helped win the war.
