- About Me
I am a historian and author, my book Mission France is about the 39 women who went to France during World war two as part of Special Operations Executive. I specialise in women’s roles during the world wars, but am also well versed in the history of the wars in general and have studied aspects of the Holocaust. I am a guide for WW1 battlefields, Berlin and Krakow, as well as a Road Scholars instructor. I also study all aspects of women’s history and bring it to life through my company History’s Maid.
