This Badass Spy Blazed a Trail For Women in the Military, So Why Haven't You Heard of Her?

Captain Stephanie Czech Rader was a fearless 1940s spy who paved the way for women in the military, yet her story isn't one you'll find in history books. For years her achievements remained a secret, in part due to the covert nature of her profession but also due to bias experienced by so many women in male-dominated fields. On Jan. 21, Rader passed away at the age of 100 before her achievements could be properly honored, but that may not be the end of her heroic story.
