I seem to notice a pattern, However this might just be cognotive bias but it seems like while great women in history seem to be less common than great men of history, their individual stories seem to be much more extreme and they are often one of the Most or the Most interesting players in many historical events

She didn't killed anyone. directly. If you think about it, she helped supplie the french resistance, ergo helping them to kill Germans. I mean, she worked for the army, so.
But! Her trying to keep her pacifist ways as much as possible, it's still noble. Still, not 100% pacifist. In my opinion.

I wish history lessons include heroes like her and not just the world leaders and their contribution to their nation. these leaders would not have been successful if it wasn't for these unsung heroes who risked their lives.

I am not muslim but as much as I know her name Noor Inayat Khan means-
Noor - The divine light
Inayat - Grace, kindness
So she was just like her name, a divine light filled with grace. Guiding the way to freedom.

It's sad that in most history, a traitor is the one who ruins everything. Even worse, the traitor is always someone you knew and trust. Reminds me of my own country's history
