Description
Recounts the life of Virginia Hall Goillet, a young American woman who was rejected from the foreign service because of her gender and her prosthetic leg. She talked her way into the spy organization dubbed Churchill's "ministry of ungentlemanly warfare," and, before the United States had even entered the war, became the first woman to deploy to occupied France.
