Summary
"Marie Marvingt's life story was so rich in exploits and accomplishments that some dismissed it as a hoax. This biography explores the life of "the most incredible woman since Joan of Arc" and the reasons she has been forgotten. Known as the "fiancée of danger," she was the model for the silent film series The Perils of Pauline"-- Provided by publisher.
