Virginia Hall is a hero and I've known about her since the mid 1970s. As I was in a pipeline for intelligence work.
Unfortunately I was unable to stay in that MOS as the need for snipers overwhelmed the US military back then and my best friend and I were both put into the sniper school.
I did eventually find my way into intelligence work. By then, Virginia Hall was legendary amongst the intel crowd. I was taught about her, along with every person in the field.
Virginia Hall was a hero for the ages.
I like to share another forgotten woman: Mary Seacole. Sometimes called the black Florence Nightingale. You won't regret aquainting yourself with this strong, compassionate woman.
Thanks, but no thanks. Im not interested in ANYBODY who needs their skin color to gain credibility or popularity. Racists will be racist, and they always make it part of the conversation. Always.
Mary Seacole needs to be remembered; she was remarkable!
History Debunked has her as no hero at all
Please check out his take
Don’t believe these dumb diversity sagas
Hello from SanDiego
I loved Helen Rappaport's book about Seacole.
@boobyhatch7897 I believe you are dead wrong and cannot support your claim with fact
You are one of the kindest gentleness stories ever met. You would allow the facts to speak for themselves and put the best construction on everything. I admire you for that I was raised to be that way too. Sometimes it’s hard to do that, but worth the effort.
Good Wednesday morning History Guy and everyone watching....
Good morning to you too.
Thank you! It's my birthday. ❤
@@ellenmarch3095 Happy Birthday fellow Libra. Mine is coming up soon
I am in awe and joy at these people, and the wonderous, beautiful, charmed and compassionate lives they lived, and the lessons they each left us all. Thank them, and thank you!
People of such distinction deserve to be remembered. No matter their sex.
Doesn't matter; Still had sex.
It's nice to have women singled out, though, because so much of what they've done has been erased from history or never recorded in the first place.
This is true, but women have been sidelined and ignored throughout history, hence the necessity of stories like these.
@@elainebmack...it is called his story not her story
Hank you that these women & their lives & history are not forgotten. I am in awe!😊
You are one of a kind HISTORY GUY.Thank you for being,YOU.😊😊😊
What a woman! What a life. She had what the French called “Je ne sais quoi” and “sang froid,” and both, apparently, in abundance. I hope they do make such a movie, she didn’t waste her life and we all need to learn about her and not waste her memory.
I love hearing about the things women have accomplished in a world still very much considered a man's world...Thank you for recounting thier stories. Stories that do indeed deserve to be remembered.
During WW2 my father worked on British merchant marine convoys supplying war materials to England. During 2 separate trips the ships were torpedoed by German submarines. He and some of his other comrades were picked up from their life raft by another ship (twice). After escaping death 2 times this way, father decided to jump ship in New York. However by coercion he was inducted into the US Army April, 1943 or get sent back to Hong Kong. Father served in Al Levy's unit the 288th (Chinese regiment) Field Artillery Observation Battalion under General Patton. You being a historian, could you tell my large family about the plight of unit 288th during WW2? Thanks from a history guy fan and subscriber.
Wyatt Earp and Josephine are now buried in Colma, California. There is a large monument marker for them.
Another BRILLIANT collection of... History
Thanks 😎😎😎
Bravo History Guy! Please give us more stories about forgotten (or mostly forgotten) women who made wonderful and important contributions to humankind. These women’s stories deserve to be regularly taught to school children as well as adults to remind them of what women over the ages have done and continue to do to push manmade boundaries and topple manmade beliefs about their capabilities, intellect and particular talents.
History Guy, I sure hope that they make a movie about Virginia Hall and Marie Marvgt. They would be great.
Jeez! Thanks for reminding me. I left my wife at the grocery store!
That's a weird place to get a divorce.
😅
@@charlesrhodes1089 The divorce came after.
Jesus christ xD
How long has she been there?
This wonderful History Guy video's should be shown in all schools! 😀🏆🏅👑
I'm getting addicted to this channel. Love histoire.
Thank u for such a memorable vid!!!! Long live our heros!!!!
Absolutely Wonderful series about wonderful women who made a lasting mark in History ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you History Guy, for not being yet another historian to attempt to write women out of history. Thank you for undoing some of the wrongs the predominantly male historians by remembering woman in history!!! As an amateur historian I embarrassed to admit I have never heard of Marie Marvingt, again great job.
Thank you so much for this episode: it is truely inspirational.
I had never heard of Virginia Hall before. Wow! What an amazing person!!! I wish I had known her. It's insane that she isn't (more) famous! Movies about her are sure to be very popular.... I can't believe they don't already exist.
What sctress can you name who would be willing to do all that stuff ? The paycheck for such a movie would be astronomical considering you would need several stunt women . It’s a wonder the History Guy was able to get all her accomplishments mentioned in the 15 min time span.
Truly History that deserves to be Remembered. Thank you.
I have infinite respect to you for this video. Your passion and admiration for these women is so clearly obvious and shows. It brought tears to my eyes in several places. Thank you for bringing these women and their accomplishments TO LIFE! Thank you! ❤💌
just as there are things to be done, there are also things we must remember. thank you for continuing your life's challenge to remind us all of the people and events that must not be forgotten.
history guy: You never cease to amaze. THANK YOU!
Well presented and much needed. Thank You!
I am enjoying your banter on history - thank you very much for uploading. If you would like a suggestion, I would like to see the history of the Persian Qanet (aqueduct like)
Very good throughly and thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks .
Luv your work and storytelling ! 😮
Thank you.
Wow! Mind blown!!
Great video!
The Distinguished Service Cross is the second highest award for valor that the US awards!!!
8:45 There's that mention of "Lucky" Baldwin again. Hoping you do a story on him; as a Southern California native who loved and loves the history of the Los Angeles area, I grew up on stories of why his name and the names of people he interacted with are plastered all over the LA basin.
I really appreciate the stories of forgotten women..... and all the history you bring to life, Lance. Thank you.
As a computer buff, I was already familiar with Ada Lovelace (in fact, I realized who her segment was about before you even said her name), but as an aviation buff with a particular interest in the pioneering women in that field, I don't know that I'd heard of Marie Marvingt. Glad to know of her, as she does, indeed, deserve to be remembered. Speaking of women who deserve to be remembered, have you done a video on Admiral Grace Hopper?
The history guy rules!
Brilliant series!! Thank you!! Even though I knew of some of these women, your story telling is “riveting!”
Another brilliant woman was the Late Prince Philip’s mother. What a life she lived!!! 😮
I really enjoyed this one.
The fiancé of danger. What an amazing person.
Truly one of my favorite episodes
I'm exhausted just hearing about her accomplishments.
Great videos as always
I used to live in Lovelace Gardens where Augusta and her husband had their houae and estate - Surbiton, Surrey,
This is a great series, but maybe you could update the set with a chapter on Hertha Aryton, the first woman elected to the IEE (1899) and a Fellow of the Royal Society (1902)?
Babe Didrikson Zaharias deserves a video! ;)
Indeed. She was a giant and a lot of people forgot about her.
I wonder if this incredible woman influenced Rev John Flynn to create the Royal Flying Doctor service in outback Australia .
My great-grandmother Sarah Ann Johnson was born in 1847 and died in 1929. She was a year older and lived a year longer than Wyatt Earp.
Please consider doing a video of early american female lighthouse keepers. Id suggest starting with Juliet Nichols. There are lots of other examples!
That was most interesting
I like the title ..couldn't help myself. Different days now. Lol women have made themselves easy to forget
Thanks!
Thank you!
Odd to see Earp's grave in SSF.
Margaret, wow! As an aircraft mechanic, I salute her!
Awesome women!!!
It’s difficult to remember something you never knew in the first place.
Damn did you just explained the life of almost all of us. Working and sitting at home. Everything is nice if you have money.
WOW!!!
thanks
Yes, so what about and who cares about this and that? They stayed together through it all, with commitment and heart and I envy them, as I have never managed to do that. I also envy their adventures. Obviously they had dedicated friends who loved them and I also envy them that. She lived 15 years without him. She must have been terribly lonely, but what memories to take out for company when alone, but with him still.
I love this channel but I can’t figure out the guitar rift playing in the credits. It sounds so familiar..please help
That is called “Highway Wildflowers.”
If your ever looking for topics that are somewhat off the radar. Could you do an event like the 1904 St. Louis Summer Olympics. The first modern Olympics to ever take place in the USA.
Recently heard that one of the biggest history museums in Missouri is planning an exhibit next year to celebrate the 120th Anniversary of the 1904 Summer Olympics.

Virginia Hall was an adventurous woman! There’s already a movie about her and another woman collaborator ❤. don’t recall the movie name though 😊
Another amazing french lady is Valerie André.
Not bad ⚡️
I just discovered Mabel Walker Willebrandt, the First Lady of Law, US Attorney General 1921-1929
She was 54 years old when this picture was taken!
Erp is buried in the Jewish cemetery, Hills of Eternity Memorial Park in Colma, ten miles South of San Francisco. People keep stealing his headstone. Erp was not Jewush but Josephine claimed to be.
Colma is the only Necropolis in the US with over 16 cemeteries. I have books on the BLURB publishing site about two of the cemeteries in Colma.
Thank you HG for another thought-provoking video. Would request that you consider doing a video on my ancestor John Alfred Brashear. He became a world- famous telescope lens maker and pioneer in the field of astronomy. He is credited with many inventions, none of which he patented, instead freely sharing his creations with anyone interested. He could have been immensely wealthy but as a pious Christian man this was not important to him. He was born in 1840 in the small Monongahela River town of Brownsville Pa and had a very limited formal education. He was however a natural mechanical genius and after moving to Pittsburgh became a millwright in several of the many steel mills located there. He was so good that he became a highly trusted master mechanic. Despite working 12+hours everyday he made time every night to work on his childhood dream of making his own telescope as he had had a romance with astronomy since about the age of eight after his grandfather secured him a 'paid' look through the small hand-made telescope of an itinerate star gazer who travelled to their small town. John and his wife worked for two years to complete their first lens, only to have him drop it in the shop one night. He wanted understandably to quit at that point but his wife Phoebe, who worked with him every night in their little shop, encouraged him to start again. After finishing the second lens he met someone I'm sure you have heard of, Samuel Langley, who at the time was head of the Allegheny Observatory in Allegheny Pa. Langley agreed to see the lens, and when John arrived on an early summer evening he saw two men talking near the entrance of the observatory. One was Samuel Langley, the other was William Thaw, president of the Pennsylvania R.R.
Thaw, BTW was the father of Harry Thaw who married Evelyn Nesbit and murdered Stanford White in Madison Sq. Garden.
I will stop here as I don't wish to write a book. Lol
At any rate, if you are interested I can share excellent resource material on John Brashear's life and work. He was so beloved that all of Pittsburgh referred to him as Uncle John. When he died in 1920 he was greatly missed by famous astronomers as well the many common folk who he always had time for.
Keep up the great and much needed service you have been performing for all of us.
❤
Women's work opportunities were so limited back then since all of their "career choices" were attached to relationships with men.
Here’s one :Barbara Strozzi
Florence Nightingale. We all think of her as a loving, gentle lady who fought for better care of soldiers. She did, but she was definitely not a docile lady. It is recorded that if any of her nurses even appeared with her collar slightly out of place, she would come down like a ton of bricks. It's because of this fight she achieved what she did. Perhaps not the most likeable 'boss' but one that would NOT accept second best.
Back in the Saddle Again Naturally
I can still hear them Talking
Well shucks folks, we need a Virginia Hall biopic starring Florence Pugh right now.
The Josephine image Kaloma is not her.I 1st thought it was Evelyn Nesbit or Virginia Pierce!
This man should be the new Walter Cronkite. Tell it like it is.
I am quite surprised that Milunka Savic is not in this video...
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I'd like to ask a question from the audience. Who watches this before work and who just gets up this early all the time or both?
I listen during work!
Nellie, all the way.
Good night
At least you tried to cover them, but continuing to call Ada Lovelace the first programmer (demonstrably false) dismisses her far more visionary ideas. She was Jobs when everyone tries to make her Woz.
These dudes' mustaches are a thing of legend. I can't imagine the kissing.🤢🤮
Its fitting that the first female governor was elected to the first state to allow women to vote
Did you have a cold doing this show?
She appears to be a beautiful women

It was a little difficult, hearing sex workers constantly called “prostitutes.”
Why? What's with all the nit picking PC in the world whores? Hookers? Prostitute? Soiled doves? Ladies of the night? Sex workers? What's the difference? I have been married twice to such women and spent the last 20 years with the love of my life who actually preferred the word hustler she spent her life in the "sex industry" selling in her words " her time" not sex so sex worker was offensive to her! She "worked" in massage parlors,illegal brothels as an incall and outcall "escort" and also in the legal brothels of Nevada (where we met) she died August 21 2023... I miss her so much... The most amazing human being I have been blessed with meeting in my life. So call the profession what eases your own mind and satisfies your own moral ideals but believe you me the people in the bizz don't need someone trying to " help" or rescue them all they need or want is the same respect you would have for any other human person, no more, no less. Peace and joy to you. Not arguing or condemning or anything just sharing my thoughts on the subject from my perspective and experience. Hope you are having a great day.
That's what they are. Jeez!
Why where they forgotten? Cause women ☕️
You're right. Throughout history the accomplishments of women have been either erased or not recorded at all. They were treated like second class citizens.
A foolish woman in American history I would like to forget is Sarah Palin. Palin and I are both alumni of the University of Idaho. Palin brought shame to the university with her foolish words and backwards policies...
cold and rather nasty Sarah Palin a good woman
My condolences that you have to share an alma mater with her. The school should take back her degree.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow.Agreed
Nice thumbnail.. *Rar* lol. They dont make them like they used to lol, even 90's women i liked better. First off, they all didnt look the freaken same lol. Back then we actually looked like individuals with our own style of makeup and clothes🤔.
They all look like cookie cutters now.
Wow, you should do some self-reflection and ask yourself why you dislike women so much. Seriously, in an hour video about the accomplishments of women *this* is what you comment on?
Women in general, it's better to forget them.
Virginia Hall had a Remarkable and fascinating life… be a man or woman. But for the time most especially for a woman. Her life was amazing
No feature of Marie Curie? She was credited with saving 100,000 lives in WWI in addition to being the first person to get Nobel Prizes in two different fields, Chemistry and Physics, the first female professor at the University of Paris in addition to being the first female head of one of the colleges there, the Radium Institute. She discovered that radiation cured some types of cancer and was made an MD in radiation and radiology. Not an honorary degree.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie
This one is about forgotten women. Marie Curie is still quite famous.
She's not forgotten by any definition of the word.
@@megamoze Do you know what she did during WWI?
