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?

A reasonably good book which accounts for the stories of all the great women who made their career stand out in this male-dominated field. Though there are many books on espionage book nonfiction, the author has made a good point of including all the essential persons in this narrative.The stories are often hair-raising, because of its true nature.
The book is short and crisp. There is not much laagering, and the author never tried to spoil our precious time. It is a fitting reply to critics that women cannot shine in the male-dominated espionage field. Many of the women in the spy book, cunningly used their feminine charm to lure their victim into making their mission success.

Being an army veteran and an enthusiastic reader, I stumbled upon this spy nonfiction bookwhile searching for some interesting books. Reading the accounts of these brave women, I could really relate to my yesteryears and during my mission days in Iraq. However, I can say with confidence that nowhere are our difficulties compared to the ones these brave women needed to face in those days. All the reconnaissance missions they took up were extremely dangerous even by today’s standards. And these women managed to perform them, without any extended support that is available to the field agents out there nowadays. I enjoyed it!

Those who are interested in reading about the famous women in world historyshould undoubtedly give a try to ‘Spy Women’ book. The book represents the women who had spent their life in espionage engagements and served their countries. It is such a biased and beautifully crafted representation of the lives of the women spy from the 15th century to the 21st century.

Unlike the books which portrait women as someone who is weak and victim of the world, this one show how powerful a lady can be. It is a fantastic book, and I am proud to read this astonishing book which tells you about the real life of spy women.

A refreshing account of all those great women who have helped shaped the world. I didn’t know there were so many women secret police agents, who sweated every moment of their life living their life at laser point. The interesting facts about these ladies were that most of them were highly qualified and could have led a comfortable life without choosing the dangerous profession.
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.

I am happy to say that this book has provided me with an opportunity, to know some of the legendary heroic spy women. I have just finished reading the book, and It was my all-time best experience. I have never thought that even women can be a good spy. But this book has changed my perspectives. Now I know how women did the task of espionage with dedication matching to the skill of their male counterparts. If you also want to realize the actual strength of the women, you should read famous women biographies.

After going through the reviews, I was pretty sure about the content in theespionage booknonfiction- ‘Spy Women.’The book gives an account of the brave women who excelled in this male-dominated field. However, I found the book is short of much vital information, which is essential to make the book a complete reference. I think the author could have provided some significant information to spice up the book further. Overall the author did a justifiable job by presenting all most all famous Spy Women in a small format. I would definitely suggest this book for anyone who wants to learn about the women who tasted success in offbeat careers.
