In this installment of Pioneering Women of Civil War America ~ Elizabeth “Miss Lizzie” Van Lew, Greg McQuade of CBS 6 News delves into the story of this incredibly courageous woman in his video titled “Elizabeth Van Lew—Virginia’s most hated woman.” What made Miss Lizzie an abolitionist and Unionist even though she was born and raised in Richmond, Virginia? And, more significantly, how did she become the greatest spymaster for the Union Army during the American Civil War? Watch and learn!

Happy Viewing,
