Hi! I've also been reading A Tale of Two Cities for school. Your question is in Chapter 12 of Book III. From what I have gathered, it seems that Mme Defarge's big secret is the fact that she holds some meetings without her husband and forces those in the meetings to swear not to tell him. She does this because she believes her husband is too soft.

Jarvis Lorry took the Defarges to meet with Dr. Manette, who had been unjustly imprisoned in the Bastille for many years. Dr. Manette had previously been the servant of the Evremonde family, with whom the Defarges had connections.
The spy learned about Dr. Manette's past imprisonment in the Bastille and the Defarges' involvement in the revolution. He discovered that the Defarges were leading revolutionaries and sought to use this information to gain influence and control over the unfolding events in Paris.
