Women Spies in World War II

While World War II fighting forces consisted almost entirely of men, a select number of women from America, England and other nations took on risky assignments as secret agents. They proved to be masters of deception, changing their identities when necessary and often using seduction to get vital information from the enemy. In this unique program, Connecticut historian John Cilio will discuss their efforts to gain intelligence, sabotage enemy operations, and save the lives of countless American and Allied soldiers. He'll also discuss the dangers of espionage – a significant percentage of these spies gave their lives for their countries and the war effort.
