Notes

A biographical account of Emma Woikin, the Saskatchewan-born daughter of a Doukhobor family who became entangled in a Soviet espionage network during the Second World War. Raised on the prairies in the hardships of the Depression, Woikin later worked as a cipher clerk in Ottawa, where her association with Soviet contacts led to her arrest in the aftermath of the Gouzenko disclosures of 1945.

Drawing on interviews and contemporary records, Callwood reconstructs Woikin’s early life in Saskatchewan, her personal losses, and her eventual imprisonment.
