Friends of Pohick Regional library hosts this offering from the Fall for the Book Series

In Agents of Change: The Women Who Transformed the CIA, former CIA intelligence officer Christina Hillsberg tackles the complex history of trailblazing women in the male-dominated spy organization. Hillsberg’s experience and in-depth research, coupled with interviews with current and formal female CIA officers exposes the historic fight for gender equality at the Agency, as well as the ongoing issues of sexual harassment and assault. Author Jo Piazza says Agents of Change is an “earth-shattering account of the badass women of the CIA that’s equal parts infuriating and inspiring. Hillsberg holds the spy organization’s feet to the fire, demanding accountability for the decades-long toxic culture of masculinity and sexual assault.” Anne Lauer, George Mason professor and Fall for the Book Board Member, will moderate this conversation.
