Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn’t want the responsibility of raising a family.</span></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Hind;color:#222222;background:white"><br>

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. Virginia established vast spy networks throughout France, called weapons and explosives
down from the skies, and became a linchpin for the Resistance.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
