Introduction

When it comes to espionage and spying, what often springs to one''s mind is a well-groomed English Oxford graduate with a penchant for overly-specific alcoholic beverages and womanising. However, what''s most important in these matters is the unlikely, and this is perhaps one of the reasons why some of history''s greatest and most successful spies have been women.
