Join The National WWII Museum for a free teacher webinar in honor of Women’s History Month to learn more about the hidden world of female espionage during World War II.
From the daring missions of SOE and OSS agents to the resistance networks they led across the European and Pacific theaters, women spies risked their lives behind enemy lines to help achieve Allied victory. Their courage, intelligence, and sacrifice defied expectations and reshaped the boundaries of women’s wartime service.
During this webinar, educators will explore how female agents’ secret operations influenced the outcome of World War II and changed perceptions of women’s roles in war and society. Through storytelling, primary sources, and artifact analysis, teachers will gain new tools for helping students connect to the complexities of courage, identity, and resistance. Master teachers will also share classroom-ready strategies and lesson ideas to bring these remarkable stories to life.
Teachers can use what they learn during our March 25 classroom webinar geared toward student engagement through live virtual lessons.
