She possesses a truth so valuable that men would resort to violence and manipulate their narrow perspectives to obtain it. Her words are worth millions, capable of unlocking the most guarded secrets. Even those who aren't easily swayed by money would be intoxicated by her beauty. A man can defeat his enemy through physical force, but to win over the heart and mind of a beautiful woman and protect his secrets is a feat beyond measure. A woman's beauty is a powerful weapon in espionage, even more so than brute strength. These brave women risked everything – their lives, education, language, relationships – for the sake of their country's protection. Many became spy queens, some captured and tortured until death, others legally executed. But there are also those who successfully gathered vital information and returned safely to their country. There are no flowers or memorials for these fallen spies. No public recognition for the winners. Their sacrifices remain shrouded in secrecy. This is the true history of spy queens who worked tirelessly for their country in secret.
