Author Talk: CIA Agent Christina Hillsberg on the Women Who Transformed the CIA

Thursday, October 16, 6:00 pm

Christina Hillsberg who spent nearly a decade at the Central Intelligence Agency as an intelligence officer, and author of Agents of Change: The Women Who Transformed the CIA will be talking about her novel. 

 For fans of Hidden Figures, The Six, and In True Face by Jonna Mendez, this is a real-life look at the women who helped to build the CIA from The Cold War through the Women’s Movement and are still fighting for equal rights within this little-understood male-dominated organization – as told by a former CIA officer. These are the women who built the little-understood agency, from the turbulent 1960s to the rise of first-wave feminism, through the Bond Girl years to today, where they continue to break new ground.
