Presentations
Below is a listing of some of my presentations. In addition, I would be happy to customize a program on women spies (from the Revolutionary War to WWII or in general) for your venue or event! Email kitsergeant.author@gmail.com for more information or to schedule!
“Women Spies in World War II: The Women of the SOE”
In 1942, as the free world crumbled beneath Hitler’s jackboot, Churchill’s Secret Army began recruiting women to infiltrate Occupied France. The women spies, who came from all walks of life, agreed to serve in the French Resistance even though they did not know if they would ever see their families again. Learn about the adventures of some of these unimaginably brave women in this multimedia presentation by Kit Sergeant, author of The Spark of Resistance. (All ages; 60 min; price negotiable with permission to sell books)
In person or Zoom
“Women Spies in World War II Part 2: Nancy Wake and Marie-Madeleine Fourcade”
Faced with unimaginable odds, Nancy Wake, aka ‘The White Mouse’ and Marie-Madeleine Fourcade guided hundreds of French Resistance agents through the treacherous landscape of wartime France while managing to (mostly) avoid the Gestapo. Learn about the adventures of these unimaginably brave women in this multimedia presentation with Q&A by Kit Sergeant, author of Marie-Madeleine. Giveaways include stickers and bookmarks. (Teens and adults; 60 min; $250 with permission to sell books)
