About this product
Product Information
It would be easy for the modern reader to conclude that women had no place in the world of early modern espionage, with a few seventeenth-century women spies identified and then relegated to the footnotes of history. Yet Invisible Agents unmasks the playwrights, nurses, ladies-in-waiting, postmistresses, and women in other professions and positions who operated as spies during a period of civil strife in Britain, sourcing and passing on confidential information on account of political and religious convictions or to obtain money or power. The very first study to analyse the role of early modern women spies, Invisible Agents makes a compelling and ground-breaking contribution to the history of espionage, demonstrating that the allegedly-male world of the spy was more than merely infiltrated by women.Product Identifiers
