An action-packed graphic novel about Virginia Hall, known as one of
the most courageous spies of World War II. In the early 1940s,
during World War II, Germany’s Nazi regime expanded into
neighboring European countries, committing horrific crimes against
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. Other
