Nine Husbands of Aunt Ida

Code name Aunt Ida, Secret Agent for the United States of America, has seen history change and lived a life not all women have experienced. After the war, she became one of the first CIA female operations officers. Special Operations Executive (SOE) built a resistance network in Europe to engage in espionage and sabotage. Many women were recruited and became spies. It was believed women were less conspicuous and were less likely to be stopped and interrogated. Female SOE agents were successfully working in France as couriers and wireless operators. Aunt Ida went above and beyond the call of duty. She was married nine times, lived to be 90 years old to tell her story, and has one great, great-granddaughter to carry on her work into the future as an undercover spy.
