Publisher's Description of Virginia Hall: Clever Spy of World War II (Women Warriors of World War II)

In the early 1940s, during World War II, Germany’s Nazi regime expanded

Jewish people and other groups. Enter: Virginia Hall. Born on a small
Maryland farm, this brilliant woman’s worldly ambitions led her to a
clerical position at the U.S. embassy in Warsaw, Poland. While there, a
hunting accident caused Hall to lose her leg. After being fitted with a
wooden prosthetic leg, she persevered in her work. Hall soon became a
spy for Allied forces, serving behind enemy lines in France. With
cleverness and courage, Hall, who the Nazis nicknamed the “Limping
Lady,” eventually became one of the Allies’ greatest assets and one the
German Gestapo’s most feared spies. In this action-packed, full-color
graphic novel, learn more about this daring woman who took risks, defied
expectations, and confronted the enemies of World War II.
