Description
Discover the pivotal role women played in British intelligence during the first half of the twentieth century. From the 20th century onwards, women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying the conventions of their time.
Women in intelligence played a crucial part in both world wars, working behind the scenes to support the war effort. They ran spy networks, escape lines, and interrogated prisoners, while also providing vital administrative work in MI offices. This major history reveals the rich and varied work women undertook as civilians and in uniform, showcasing their inspirational contributions.
Filled with hitherto unknown stories, this book places new research on record for the first time, shedding light on the remarkable women who made a significant impact on the intelligence mission.
