''A Girl of Grit: A Story of the Intelligence Department'' is a novel written by Arthur Griffiths and originally published in 1899. The story follows the adventures of a young woman named Dora Myrl, who is recruited by the British Intelligence Department during the Boer War in South Africa. Despite facing sexism and prejudice from her male colleagues, Dora proves to be a skilled and resourceful spy, using her intelligence and courage to gather vital information for the British war effort. Along the way, she faces danger, betrayal, and heartbreak, but ultimately emerges as a hero of the conflict. The novel is a thrilling and suspenseful tale of espionage and adventure, with a strong female protagonist who defies societal expectations and proves her worth in a male-dominated field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
