Her Secret Service: The Forgotten Women of British Intelligence

Prepare to meet the true custodians of Britain’s military secrets, from Kathleen Pettigrew, MI6 Chief Stewart Menzies’ assistant who declared, ‘I was Miss Moneypenny, but with more power,’ to Jane Archer, MI5’s first female officer who suspected Soviet spy Kim Philby long before his unmasking.
Claire, a leading authority on secret intelligence, 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.
