Learn about the woman who changed espionage forever in Sonia Purnell’s A Woman of No Importance (2019). Virginia Hall was a real-life hero whose resilience was exceptional. Even though she was a human with flaws, fears, and insecurities, she used these so-called weaknesses to better understand her enemies. Purnell reveals how one woman helped turn the tides of history and how she turned adversity and rejection into resolve and triumph. Though she faced extreme danger as an unercover agent in France, Hall would never give up the fight against the Nazi regime.

Women were barely given the chance at the time, but Hall was one of the few who were able to step out of the construct of conventional femininity and defy all stereotypes.
