Former CIA intelligence officer and bestselling author Christina Hillsberg shares powerful insights on breaking barriers and redefining who gets to succeed.
Through her bestselling book Agents of Change, she brings to life the untold stories of the women who transformed the CIA—and what their experiences reveal about leadership, resilience, and performance.
Agents of Change is a timely and revelatory exploration of the pioneering women who changed the insulated world of international espionage—from the barrier-crashing challenges of the 1960s to the present day reckoning—told through the eyes of a former intelligence operative herself.
“Hillsberg uses her insider knowledge to take us behind the curtain on the world of espionage, exposing far more than gender inequality—the compelling storytelling is a call to action and provides a map for moving forward. Meticulously researched and impeccably told, Agents of Change is a must-read.” —Eve Rodsky, New York Times bestselling author of Fair Play
“An eye-opening exposé into the guts and grit it takes to be a woman in the CIA. Hillsberg interweaves the stories of trailblazing women with her own experience to give readers a front-row seat to the trials and triumphs of life undercover.” —Jessica Pearce Rotondi, author of What We Inherit: A Secret War and a Family’s Search for Answers
“A much-needed addition to spy literature that could only be written by someone who worked behind the veil. Bravo!” —Pete Earley, New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of a Spy: The Real Story of Aldrich Ames and Comrade J: The Untold Secrets of Russia’s Master Spy in America After the End of the Cold WarLearn more…
