A History of their Secret Missions in Wartime Europe

In the wake of the Nazi invasion of Europe, the tentative sparks of resistance in occupied countries were fanned by Britain’s Special Operations Executive. Working as secret agents and saboteurs, these individuals bolstered resistance from within and provided much needed support and weapons. During this in-conversation event Kate Vigurs will discuss the lesser-known women who worked across Europe, telling their stories of trial and error, escape and even execution, ultimately shining a light on the ordinary women who did extraordinary things.
