Author Christina Hillsberg will discuss her new bestselling book, Agents of Change: The Women Who Transformed the CIA. Explore the pioneering women who changed the insulated world of international espionage — from the barrier-crashing challenges of the 1960s to the present-day reckoning — told through the eyes of a former intelligence operative herself. The recipient of multiple CIA Exceptional Performance Awards, Hillsberg's work at the CIA included specializing in African politics and leaders as one of the intelligence community’s few Swahili and Zulu linguists, producing analytic assessments for senior-level policymakers including the president and his cabinet, and serving in the CIA’s Directorate of Operations, clandestinely collecting intelligence from the field. A recognized expert on women in espionage and intelligence tradecraft, she is also the author of License to Parent: How My Career as a Spy Helped Me Raise Resourceful, Self-Sufficient Kids.
