Whispyhistory:ALT reads a bit roughly to me, I would suggest "recruited" be changed to "was a recruiter" or "recruited women" if that seems appropriate. In ALT1 placement of "during the Second World War," is a little awkward and it's easy to assume both duties were during WWII, one after the other. I would suggest moving the phrase to read: ... that Margaret Cooper travelled 55,000 miles across India recruiting for the
Women's Royal Indian Naval Service during the Second World War, then worked for
MI6? For ALT3, the source I could view quoted her as saying only "…for the Indian girls, it was the experience of a lifetime and broadened their outlook considerably." Since I couldn't confirm the link to emancipation, and the source notes that this was a subjective opinion, my preference would be for an amended ALT or ALT1. I'm happy to approve either of them with minor rephrasing as suggested above.
