The Most Dangerous Spy of WW2 - The Limping Lady | True Life Spy Stories

She was a woman that paved the way for Women to hold important positions in The State Department and forced open doors of business for disabled citizens.

For her chosen career, She overcame an unbelievable physical disadvantage with no less courage than those on the frontline, not to mention her intelligence and ability to maintain her cool in serious life and death situations, saving countless people and gathering/dispersing invaluable intelligence in WW2. Oh, and she crossed the mountains walking - on foot - in deep winter snow - with a clumsy and heavy prosthetic leg. She should be celebrated.

[@KeithSeiwell]

Her story wasn't well known by the public at large because she was a CIA agent. She also kept a low profile and didn't want a lot of publicity. The record of her work and others like her were not even declassified until late in the 20th century. Also, despite the implications of the title of the book "A Woman of No Importance" she was in fact recognized for bravery in wartime by being awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) at the end of the war by the US Army. The DSC is second only to the Medal of Honor and the criteria for its awarding is very, very high. So, she was recognized by her country for her bravery and courage. There was no "conspiracy" to ignore her exploits because she was a woman. She was a true heroine and patriot and should be remembered for her accomplishments. Also, unless your specialty in terms of your History degree was related to WWII, her story would have been one of many and easily missed.
