British historian and author Helen Fry will discuss her new book, Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars. Explore the history of women in British intelligence, revealing their pivotal role across the first half of the twentieth century. These 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. Helen Fry is the author of The Walls Have Ears, Spymaster, MI9, and more than twenty books on intelligence, prisoners of war, and the social history of World War II. She appears regularly in media interviews and podcasts and has been involved in numerous documentaries.
