Mission Europe: The Secret History of the Women of SOE
Thursday 2 October 
Unitarian Chapel
10.30am
The remarkable history of the women who worked for Special Operations Executive across Nazi-occupied Europe.
Kate Vigurs delves into her new book Mission Europe to bring you tales of heroism, betrayal and bravery from the female secret agents infiltrated behind enemy lines during the Second World War.
From Poland to Belgium, the Netherlands to Denmark, this path-breaking work not only examines why these women were recruited but also analyses their successes and their contribution as part of the war effort, to celebrate the ‘ordinary women who did extraordinary things’.
