Summary

World War II was the first time in history that women were trained as combatants and secret agents to be parachuted behind enemy lines. This was the war in which old gender rules changed, as intelligence agencies created specific training and roles for women. It was the war in which spy chiefs realized women's potential as couriers, wireless operators, spies, saboteurs, and even Resistance leaders. --Adapted from introduction
