Spymistresses: The Story of Allied Women Spies of WWII on Wednesday, March 1 at 7pm in Brubeck Room
Please join us in the Brubeck Room for a unique insight into Allied Women Spies in WWII. Spies belong to a special group of people with flexible identities, elastic morals and what has been referred to by some as situational ethics. Many take dangerous risks, complete their missions and live to tell the tale; others don't. During WWII several women risked their lives to work within enemy territory to uncover secrets. Some were professionally trained; others were simply masters of intrigue and deception. They covertly served the Allies and made significant contributions to the war. Learn about some of these women who worked in the European and Pacific theaters of the war.
