The Sisterhood by Liza Mundy

The incredible true story of the female analysts who defied institutional sexism and helped bring down Bin Laden

'The Sisterhood is a rip-roaring read about spycraft and the CIA’s inner workings that rewrites and enlarges the history of America’s iconic intelligence serviceMundy’s indefatigable reporting has unearthed an inspiring group portrait of extraordinary CIA women whose careers are multi-sided profiles in courage. They put their lives on the line in public service while navigating appalling sexism at the office—and gradually changed the CIA for the better.' – Steve Coll, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Ghost Wars

'Liza Mundy has given us an indispensable history, untold until now, of the rise of women at the CIA—and how their hard-fought ascension to power from lowly clerks to the top of the chain of command shaped America's national security. The Sisterhood has stellar reporting, sparkling writing, and shocking revelations of power struggles inside the world’s most famous secret intelligence service. —Tim Weiner, National Book Award-winning author of Legacy of Ashes
