A Woman of No Importance is the fascinating story of Virginia Hall, an American woman who worked with the British Special Operations Executive, a World War II espionage organization. Despite her artificial leg, Hall was able to take on increasingly complex missions and assume leadership roles. Her track record was barely acknowledged, but she was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French government, was made an honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire, and received the Distinguished Service Cross from the United States. This book is well written and keeps readers engaged with the historical record, making it an excellent read.
