Espionage is one of the world's oldest professions, and it played
an integral role in Allied successes and failures during the Second
World War. Equal to men in both their bravery and in the sacrifices
they made, the female undercover operatives of the Second World War
deserve to have their incredible stories told. The Women Who Spied
for Britain 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 many 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 humour, hard-fought triumphs and, for
far too many, horrific tragedy.
