9. Dorthy Lawrence , Writer (1896-1964)
In a conventionally more noble pursuit, Dorothy Lawrence was an English reporter who was tired
of getting denied access to the English troops on the front lines of WWI. She would circumvent this by enlisting in the English Army
to gain the access she desired. However, the anxiety living this lie proved too much and she turned herself in after 10 days of service.
She was arrested as a spy, but not charged, however, she was forbidden from writing on her experience, however brief. Her notes and
thoughts were finally made public years later, though that defeated the purpose of her pursuit.
