Ming Yi: The Chinese Spy Who Outwitted the Japanese

Born in 1908 in Shanghai, Ming Yi was a brilliant student who studied at Yenching University in Beijing. When the Japanese invaded China in 1937, Ming was determined to fight back. She joined the Chinese Communist Party and began spying for the Allies.

Ming's code name was "Pearl," and she quickly became one of the most effective spies in the Chinese resistance. She was fluent in Japanese and English, and she used her intelligence and charm to gather vital information about the Japanese military.

One of Ming's most daring missions was to infiltrate the Japanese embassy in Beijing. She posed as a Japanese woman and spent months inside the embassy, gathering intelligence on Japanese plans and troop movements.

Ming's work was so valuable that the Allies awarded her the Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award in the United States. She was also recognized by the Chinese government for her heroism.

Marie Curie Sk?odowska: The Polish Scientist Who Helped Win the War

Marie Curie Sk?odowska was born in Poland in 1867. She was a brilliant scientist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911.

During World War I, Marie Curie volunteered her services to the French Red Cross. She set up mobile X-ray units that could be used to treat wounded soldiers on the front lines.

Marie Curie's work was groundbreaking, and her X-ray units saved the lives of thousands of soldiers. For her contributions to the war effort, Marie Curie was awarded the Legion of Honor, France's highest honor.

Marie Curie died in 1934, but her legacy continues to inspire scientists and humanitarian workers around the world.
