"Madame Andrèe" is the story of Nancy Wake, aka The White Mouse. She loved men, particularly her husband, but never allowed it to compromise her strength. She was both feminine and ass-kicking at the same time. She’d take any man down and barely smudge her Chanel lipstick in the process. She had a mouth that could make a sailor blush. And male or female, don’t challenge her to a drinking contest unless you are prepared to lose. From her upbringing in Sydney, Australia, to her time as a journalist in Paris, to fighting for freedom and human rights against the Nazis, Nancy Wake lived one of the most fascinating lives of an (arguably) ordinary woman who became one of the greatest spies for England and France during the Second World War. All while refusing to compromise who she was as a woman. And what a woman she was! [less-]
