Abstract

Our century’s fascination with the spy has produced at least as much mythology as recorded fact, and the romanticized picture of international espionage is never complete withoutthe alluring and dangerous femme fatale. But this misconception about the role of women in intelligence is not confined to spy novels and James Bond films; in many cases it has been nurtured at the very highest levels ofthe intelligence community.
