From Southern Belle to Spymaster; Uncovering the Tale of Elizabeth Van Lew

History is packed with untold stories, and tragically, most remain that way. For quite some time, the life of Elizabeth Van Lew—a Southern belle turned revolutionary spymaster—was among them, until FOX Business correspondent Gerri Willis discovered her story while searching for something to inspire young women during the COVID lockdown. Today, Gerri reveals how, after five years of painstaking research, she uncovered a fascinating tale full of danger, political intrigue, and courage — one she is proud to present in her book, Lincoln’s Lady Spymaster: The Untold Story of the Abolitionist Southern Belle Who Helped Win the Civil War.
