Summary:
"In the wake of World War II, four agents were critical in helping build the CIA. Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier were ground-breaking agents at the top of their class, instrumental in developing innovative tools for intelligence gathering and insisting that they receive the credit and pay their expertise deserved. Wise Girls sheds a light on the untold history of the women whose persistence and fighting spirit have been and continue to be instrumental to our country's security"-- Back cover.
