From the twentieth century onward, women took on an extraordinary range of roles in intelligence, defying the conventions of their time. Across both world wars, far from being a small part of covert operations, women ran spy networks and escape lines, parachuted behind enemy lines, and interrogated prisoners.

In this major, panoramic history, Helen Fry looks at the rich and varied work women undertook as civilians and in uniform.
