Presented at CHCon '21 (2021), Nov. 6, 2021, 9:30 a.m. (30 minutes).

When we picture a spy, we think of some Bond-esque secret agent, with thousands of gadgets. But what does a real spy even look like? In this talk we will explore the real history of women in espionage and security. From field agents to modern codebreakers, these are the stories of some badass women who made history without gadgets or pockets. You'll wish you'd heard of them sooner!
