Wise gals : the spies who built the CIA and changed the future of espionage / by Nathalia Holt.
"From the New York Times bestselling author of Rise of the Rocket Girls comes the never-before-told story of a small cadre of influential female spies in the precarious early days of the CIA--women who helped create the template for cutting-edge espionage (and blazed new paths for equality in the workplace) in the treacherous post-WWII era"-- Provided by publisher.
