Event Details

Join us to discuss The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA by Liza Mundy

In the later half of the 20th century, women employed by the CIA were often overlooked, undervalued, and typically relegated to secretarial roles. Nonetheless, women made significant contributions within the organization, sometimes leveraging this perception of low importance to gather intelligence, sometimes battling against stereotypes for opportunities and recognition. Mundy, author of Code Girls, sheds light on the remarkable lives and work of the women analysts, officers, secretaries, and spouses of the CIA.

Copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk one month before the meeting date.  Ebook copies are available through Libby and eAudiobook copies are available through Boundless with your Frankfort library card.
