Wise Gals: The Spies Who Built the CIA and Changed the Future of Espionage By Nathalia Holt Free PDF book download from here. “Nathalia Holt’s “Wise Gals: The Spies Who Built the CIA and Changed the Future of Espionage” is a tribute to the pioneering women who played a crucial role in shaping the CIA.
These ‘wise gals,’ as they were known, not only set the groundwork for modern espionage but also paved the way for gender equality in the agency. The book highlights the lives and contributions of Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier, who climbed the ranks in a male-dominated field. Their personal sacrifices and professional challenges offer a fresh lens on the CIA’s history.”
