Gig Harbor Non-Fiction Book Club: Zoom Book Discussion

A Woman of No Importance

Join your local librarians and your neighbors for a virtual book discussion on Zoom! This month we'll be discussing A Woman of No Importance.

We're sorry we can't meet with you in person, but we're excited to talk about books with you virtually! This month we'll be discussing A Woman of No Importance: The Untold Story of the American Spy Who Helped Win World War II by Sonia Purnell.

In 1942, the Gestapo sent out an urgent transmission: "She is the most dangerous of all Allied spies. We must find and destroy her."

The target in their sights was Virginia Hall, a Baltimore socialite who talked her way into Special Operations Executive, the spy organization dubbed Winston Churchill's "Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare." She became the first Allied woman deployed behind enemy lines and--despite her prosthetic leg--helped to light the flame of the French Resistance, revolutionizing secret warfare as we know it.
