The “Glorious Amateurs” of OSS: A Sisterhood of Spies

Excerpt:  “In Part Two of our Glorious Amateurs series (read Part One here), we focus on the amazing contributions of the women of Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Some of their stories have achieved star status, while others are just waiting to be told. Many of us are familiar with the accomplishments of OSS women like Virginia Hall and Julia Child, but have you ever heard of the southern socialite who became the first American female prisoner of war? Or the woman who escaped Nazi-occupied Austria to join the OSS? And how about the Slovak schoolteacher who was awarded the bronze star for helping OSS and British agents escape Nazi-occupied territory?”
