An amazing book. I was afraid Agents of Change might be a dry-as-dust history of women in the CIA but instead if was a fascinating account of several woman and their stories. I was immediately captivated by the author's history with "The Firm." It wasn't an easy time for women (and still isn't) but she succeeded thanks to intelligence, sheer grit and determination. She also highlighted the sacrifices women case officers had to make; in many cases, their personal lives were put on the back burner, and some women forfeited a family life. Thoroughly engrossing, highly recommend.

An engrossing look into the women of the CIA, from the 1960s to the present day. I found the book's structure (one chapter = one decade) particularly effective, and I enjoyed following the various women throughout the time periods. Informative, well-researched, and written in a very approachable way.
