Episode 2 of the Invisible Women podcast is now available: Spy Craft. https://invisiblewomen.ca/spy-craft What is it about secrets and spying that holds such interest, curiosity and energy for us? And, why were these women agents, who were living ordinary lives pre-war, exhilarated by being undercover in dangerous circumstances? ... In this episode Diane Greig will discuss the high stakes of being involved in espionage whether behind the lines or on the home front. Then, she'll introduce you to Garnet, a young woman from the UK who was decoding enemy messages in the secret facility at Bletchley Park.

That’s the focus of this episode of Invisible Women, different kinds of spy craft. #invisiblewomen #podcast #espionage #spy #shadow #ww2 #bletchleypark #enigma #dianegreig
