edith tudor-hart -lrb- née edith suschitzky ; 1908 -- 1973 -rrb- was an austrian-british photographer , communist-sympathiser and spy for the soviet union .

brought up in a family of socialists , she trained in photography at walter gropius 's bauhaus in dessau , and carried her political ideals through her art .
through her connections with arnold deutsch , tudor-hart was instrumental in the recruiting of the cambridge spy ring which damaged british intelligence from world war ii until their discovery in the late 1960s .
she recommended litzi friedmann and kim philby for recruitment by the kgb and acted as an intermediary for anthony blunt and bob stewart when the `` rezidentura '' at the soviet embassy in london suspended its operations in february 1940 .
