Description
A major new history of women in British intelligence reveals their pivotal role in the first half of the twentieth century. From the 20th century onwards, women played an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying convention and making significant contributions to the war effort. This book explores the rich and varied work of women in intelligence, both as civilians and in uniform, and showcases their inspirational stories for the first time. Women in Intelligence sheds light on the often-overlooked work of women in intelligence, from those who ran spy networks and escape lines to those who interpreted aerial images and worked in administrative roles. The book features hitherto unknown stories and highlights the crucial role women played in the intelligence mission during both world wars. Helen Fry's major history places new research on record and provides a fresh perspective on the often-unsung heroines of British intelligence.
