Another Patreon exclusive episode out today! It is Volume 1 in the series on Bad Bitches of History. Nancy Wake was a French Resistance fighter who had her cover blown. She escaped, trained with the SOE, and jumped back into the fight. #HistoricallyHigh #NancyWake #WW2 #Patreon
Book cover: “Nancy Wake: a Biography of our Greatest War Heroine” by Peter Fitzsimons (Harper Collins, 2001); audiobook read by Stephanie Daniel (Bolinda, 2011)
A remarkable life, given a diligent if workmanlike treatment. While doing justice to Nancy herself, Fitzsimons abandons most of her contemporaries once they pass from her orbit. Stephanie Daniel brings echoes of her Phryne Fisher narration, elevating the audiobook beyond its prose. #NancyWake

Some excellent Nancy Wake quotes
She was an SOE agent nicknamed the white mouse by the Germans for her uncanny ability to escape capture. Also one of the few recorded hand to hand combat kills in WW2.

I’m reading this historical novel about a real-life female spy in WWII and I must say, the description of the French people trying to just ignore the news and go on with their everyday lives as war approaches is hitting me as all-too-familiar right now. #Fascists

Nancy Wake, "The White Mouse," was a #WWII French Resistance hero and SOE operative. Trained in guerrilla tactics and hand-to-hand combat, she once killed a German guard with a judo chop. Her fearless leadership and skills in combat remain a testament to combatives in action. #NancyWake #Combatives
