Description
There are many female spies that have helped America win wars, from the Civil War to WWI to WWII. They were fearless, brave, and risked their lives to gather intelligence. Some survived, others either died in concentration camps or were shot to death. Tragically, they are not known and have become merely footnotes in our American history. You will meet several of these women and hear their stories. They came from all walks of life, and some were as young as 17. One was considered Lincoln’s favorite spy. One young woman during WWI shot herself rather than divulge any secrets that would help the enemy. One had only one leg, and her other was a prosthetic, yet she was a spy in Germany during WWII. Amazingly enough, she was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. One young socialite used her body to gather intelligence. her method was called the “honey pot” method. A third was an international tennis star. Learn about their fascinating lives as spies and what followed.
