This enticing, newly revamped collection of international female spy profiles moves chronologically from the seventeenth century to the present day. From hiding messages in hair to using handkerchiefs as secret signals, the stories of courageous espionage--combined with summaries of the historical conflicts, black-and-white portraits, "spy files" trivia, and "spycraft" activities--will engage and inspire young readers.
