The Women Who Spied for Britain: Female Secret Agents of the Second World War traces the fascinating and sometimes tragic stories of eight women, who put their lives on the line and made invaluable contributions to the British war effort. Drawn from all different walks of life, including a princess, a beauty queen, a war widow, a teenage girl and a bawdy Australian journalist, all of these women shared a sense of adventure, daring and determination that allowed them to embrace the role of secret agent. Trained in the art of clandestine warfare, guerilla tactics and radio operation, these women worked closely with resistance movements throughout occupied Europe. Their stories are portraits of courage, offering a mixture of thrilling adventure, gutsy humor, hard fought triumphs and for far too many, horrific tragedy.
