Female Spies with Helen Fry

Home » podcasts » Episode 114

Historian Helen Fry talks with our editor about Mata Hari, Edith Cavell and other less known stories from the Cambridge Spies to the Special Operations Executive.

Helen is the author of Women in Intelligence: The Hidden History of Two World Wars
