Krátky popis
Since the inception of the Secret Service Bureau back in 1909,
women have worked at the very heart of British secret intelligence
- yet their contributions have been all but written out of history.
Now, drawing on private and previously-classified documents,
leading historian Claire Hubbard-Hall brings their gripping true
stories to life.From encoding orders and decrypting enemy messages
to penning propaganda and infiltrating organisations, the women of
British intelligence played a pivotal role in both the First and
Second World Wars. Prepare to meet the true custodians of Britain's
military secrets, from Kathleen Pettigrew, personal assistant to
the Chief of MI6 Stewart Menzies, who late in life declared 'I was
Miss Moneypenny, but with more power', to Jane Archer, the very
first female MI5 officer who raised suspicions about the Soviet spy
Kim Philby long before he was officially unmasked and Winifred
Spink, the first female officer ever sent to Russia in 1916.In The
Real Miss Moneypenny, Hubbard-Hall rescues these silenced voices
and those of many other fascinating women from obscurity to provide
a definitive account of women's contributions to the history of the
intelligence services.
