“The limping lady” even crossed the Pyrenees on foot, with her prosthetic, to escape to Spain and evade capture one time. Absolutely incredible.
It is the hubris of the racist and the racists that always undo them. They think themselves the Pinical of humankind. So it never occurs to them just how brilliant their opponents can truly be.
Man named Moses freed people during the civil war and run rough shod across the Confederate countryside.
Turned out to be a female slave named Tubman, who got away with what she did cause she was a black female.
I hadn’t seen that episode. Thanks for the link!
Honestly this is a great strong female character, which is original and interesting. Yet they just gender switch existing crap and expect us all to swallow it.
But we got 8 seasons of the walking dead snooze fest
Also read about Aussie (born in NZ, but we'll claim her) Nancy Wake, aka the white mouse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Wake#
I would love to learn more about this hero
GREAT book.
A Call to Spy was released in 2019. Good movie. I watched it last week after reading A Woman of No Importance.

Was a pretty good movie.
Thank you for this. I’ll check it out.
They made a movie. It's called A Call to Spy. It's on Netflix
Yes, Americans are still very dangerous today but back then only Nazi Germany was really aside from Imperial japan, really leaning into the information Warfare game of narratives.
Americans do it better than anyone and YES that can indeed even penetrate the big bad propaganda machine known as Nazi Germany and we see a little old woman being feared but not for her physical stature or what she can do with a gun but what she could do with words and as they viewed it "infect" the minds of so many...
Fascinating story!
