Within the ranks of America’s intelligence community, former agent Elizabeth P. McIntosh is a legend. A one-time war correspondent, the young McIntosh joined the fledgling Office of Strategic Services in 1943, plunged into her assigned task of running morale operations against the Japanese, and went on to become a longtime employee of the CIA. In Sisterhood of Spies, McIntosh tells the story of undercover women, including Marlene Dietrich and Julia Child. A book signing will follow the program.
