I wish they went to a dunks instead of cumberland, would’ve been awesome

I’ve recently been super into books about the female spies of ww2, and I have several recommendations!

Odette by Jerrard Tickell

• the biography of a French mother who served as a courier in Nazi-occupied France and survived interrogation and imprisonment in Ravensbrück concentration camp.

D-Day Girls by Sarah Rose

• follows several women as they organize networks of spies and agents behind enemy lines in France, and describes their contribution to the success of D-Day.

A Woman of No Importance by Sonia Purnell

-a biography of Virginia Hall, American spy with a wooden leg who became the most feared allied agent in France.

Some more women’s history recs:

-The Radium Girls by Kate Moore

-The Woman they could not Silence, also by Kate Moore

-A Game of Birds and Wolves by Simon Parkin

-A House in the Mountains by Caroline Moorehead
