A NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW EDITORS\u2019 CHOICE A FOREIGN POLICY AND SMITHSONIAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR<\/p>\n

In development as a series from Lionsgate Television, executive produced by Scott Delman (Station Eleven)<\/p>\n

Created in the aftermath of World War II, the Central Intelligence Agency relied on women even as it attempted to channel their talents and keep them down. Women sent cables, made dead drops, and maintained the agency\u2019s secrets. Despite discrimination\u2014even because of it\u2014women who started as clerks, secretaries, or unpaid spouses rose to become some of the CIA\u2019s shrewdest operatives.<\/p>\n

They were unlikely spies\u2014and that\u2019s exactly what made them perfect for the role. Because women were seen as unimportant, pioneering female intelligence officers moved unnoticed around Bonn, Geneva, and Moscow, stealing secrets from under the noses of their KGB adversaries. Back at headquarters, women built the CIA\u2019s critical archives\u2014first by hand, then by computer. And they noticed things that the men at the top didn\u2019t see. As the CIA faced an identity crisis after the Cold War, it was a close-knit network of female analysts who spotted the rising threat of al-Qaeda\u2014though their warnings were repeatedly brushed aside.<\/p>\n

After the 9\/11 attacks, more women joined the agency as a new job, targeter, came to prominence. They showed that data analysis would be crucial to the post-9\/11 national security landscape\u2014an effort that culminated spectacularly in the CIA\u2019s successful effort to track down bin Laden in his Pakistani compound.<\/p>\n

Propelled by the same meticulous reporting and vivid storytelling that infused Code Girls, The Sisterhood offers a riveting new perspective on history, revealing how women at the CIA ushered in the modern intelligence age, and how their silencing made the world more dangerous.<\/p>\n
