Inspiring, action-packed WWII spy biography! How did a woman of no importance become one of the bravest, most valued—and MOST WANTED—intelligence agents? How, despite having a wooden leg, did she turn the course of history? Virginia Hall had a dream to become the first woman ambassador for the United States. Turned down by the US State Department time and again, Virginia could not stand idly by while the German army swept through Europe conquering country after country. Despite a life-threatening hunting accident, which took her left leg, Virginia volunteered to drive an ambulance in WWII France. She rescued downed airmen, radioed vital information to the Allies, and led three battalions of French Resistance forces in guerrilla warfare. Known as la dame qui boite or the Limping Lady, she rose to the top of the Gestapo's Most Wanted list. The Limping Lady helped change the course of history as the spy with the wooden leg.
