Was there a women spy named Sarah?

If your question is in reference to the US Civil War, yes, there was a Union spy by the name of Sarah. Her full name was Sarah Evelyn Edmonds, aka Frank Thompson or Franklin Thompson. She originally was a cross-dressing Union "Male" Nurse, who impressed top commanding Officers with her guise and appearance though still under the impression Edmonds was a man, she eventually worked as a spy, directly for General George McClellan. She was sent on a mission by General McClellan to go undercover behind Confederate lines. Edmonds disguised herself as a black man and worked building fortifications for the Confederate Army at Yorktown. After only 3 days, she returned to McClellan and the Union, with valuable information. She also worked as a Union spy under General Grant, and on a number of other missions. She unfortunately contracted malaria, and the Union Army had yet to discover her true gender. Undergoing treatment for malaria, as a patient of Union Army Physicians, she knew her true identity would be discovered. She ended up having to desert the Army. She found work as a nurse in Washington DC, tending to wounded soldiers in a hospital, after recovering from malaria. She eventually published a account of her experiences.
