Episode Details

Baroness Meta Ramsay, a Cold War legend and MI6’s most decorated female officer, died this week — leaving behind a legacy of audacious espionage, political mastery, and trailblazing for women in intelligence. Rising from Glasgow’s working-class roots to become a key architect of Oleg Gordievsky’s daring escape from the USSR, she later advised prime ministers and served as a minister under Tony Blair. A scholar, activist, and “proper spy” who ran real operations, she turned her early battles against communist student influence into a lifelong commitment to national security — and remains a towering figure for those who follow her path.
