Publisher's summary

The work of a spy-woman is very different from that of a man.

First, on the one hand it is easier, because you are less likely to be suspected of intelligence activities. On the other hand, it was harder for female spies, because they were required to gain the trust of high-ranking officials or people of power, by using their beauty, skills of seduction, and by attempting to make the person fall in love with them, so that they revealed their secrets. It could destroy destinies, but it was extremely useful for states and governments.

The most famous female spies in human history, beautiful and dangerous.

Who are they?

Actually, I was not a fan of espionage book, and I accidentally start reading this when my wife suggested about its contents, and I am thankful to her for the same. We could see that some ladies choose this profession because of their political alienation and simply due to their patriotism. The courage of these ladies deserves felicitation.
