For #IWD2023, this is the international woman I am currently sharing my life with… #AgentZo #WomanOnAMission, the only female #SilentAndUnseen parachutist / SOE Polish section #SpecialAgent, in #WW2.
I’m still writing but book should be published next spring!

General #ElżbietaZawacka, aka ‘#Zo’, died #otd 2009.
She was the only woman in the Polish special force #paramilitary, the #cichociemni or #silentunseen, to be parachuted into occupied #Poland in the #secondworldwar. By then she had already played a crucial role in the underground resistance.
I am writing her remarkable story now, working title #AgentZo #WomanOnAMission, to be published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 2024…
