À propos de ce livre

This book investigates how ordinary women turned into silent engines of Allied resistance, tracing the lives of female spies whose courage outstripped the recognition they ever received. It follows the paths of women who moved through occupied Europe and behind enemy lines, using their perceived invisibility as cover while orchestrating sabotage, transmitting codes, and guiding resistance cells under constant threat of capture and execution. Drawing on archives from the SOE, OSS, and national intelligence services, the book reconstructs the practical machinery of wartime espionage: how women were recruited, trained, and disguised; how they navigated networks, radios, and dead‑drop operations; and how they survived interrogation, betrayal, and long imprisonment when their missions failed. It also examines the gendered imaginaries of "virago," "mascot," and "housewife" that shaped both their deployment and the postwar amnesia surrounding their stories, showing how official narratives deliberately minimized female agency in favor of sanitized, male‑centric hero myths.
