“The Sisterhood” by Liza Mundy tells the stories of the many women of the CIA.
Jeanne Vertefeuille started her CIA career as a typist in 1954. In the 1980s and 1990s, she led a mostly female team of CIA officers who unmasked Aldrich Ames as a mole. It should come as no surprise that women have been integral to the Central Intelligence Agency since its inception, and still are. It is almost not worth mentioning that, whether they worked as spies, couriers, girl Fridays or other keepers of secrets, these women helped make the clandestine agency not only tick, but hum.
Repairing the historical record is a challenging undertaking decades after the deeds are done, perhaps more so when the history itself is shrouded in secrecy. To accomplish her aims, Mundy employs historical research and documentation along with the present-day recollections of individuals who were — or still are — involved with the agency.Many of these women’s experiences seem sadly par for the course — almost blasé.
