Known worldwide as the inspiration for Dame Judi Dench’s character ‘M’ in the James Bond films, Dame Stella Rimington is now an iconic face of British espionage. She was the first woman to be appointed head of the Security Service (better known as MI5) and the first Director General to have been publicly named in the government’s spirit of openness.
Now an acclaimed writer, Dame Stella’s most recent book, The Moscow Sleepers, is the tenth in her ‘Liz Carlyle’ thriller series. Join us for this very special event at The National Archives, as Dame Stella discusses her life, career and writing.
