Moneypenny with more power': book celebrates UK's forgotten female spies
Briefly

In her long career, Kathleen Pettigrew emerged as a pivotal yet overlooked figure within MI6, tied to critical operations and interactions with iconic personalities such as Ian Fleming and Winston Churchill.
Dr. Claire Hubbard-Hall's research reveals that Kathleen Pettigrew wasn't just a secretary; she played crucial roles in crucial operations, managing top-secret communications during WWII.
Her work in MI6, including her oversight of wartime communications, emphasizes how underestimated roles can hold substantial power and influence in the realm of espionage.
