Shyann,

Have you tried using Google or another search engine to find information on Ms. Wake? I'm sure you're better with computers than a "technologically challenged" adult like myself

, and below are three pretty good references I found with only a very quick search. I think they'll answer a lot of your questions about the facts of her life. And I think maybe you'll also be able to answer the questions about who inspired her and why she did these things after you read these and a few more articles.

And here is one from the Axis History Forum itself, which tells a bit about her more recent life:

Nancy Wake had quite an exciting life! Among other honours, she was a three-time winner of the Croix de Guerre, and also won the Légion d'honneur. There is a great movie based on her Resistance activities, called True Colors.

Hope this helps. You've helped me by posting the question, since I hadn't realized that she was from New Zealand!
