In Disguise: Real Stories of Women Spies Book
Girls find strong role models in this collection of biographies of real-life women who weren't content to sit back and let events unfold as wars raged around them. These women spies -- from chef Julia Child and Civil War activist Harriet Tubman to lesser-known figures in the world of espionage -- chose the perilous route of standing up for their beliefs and taking action -- leaving the safety and comfort of their homes to fight for the causes they believed in. Courageous and resourceful, these women often pioneered new technologies -- such as satellites, robots, and unmanned spy planes -- to gather intelligence. Emily Geiger, Josephine Baker, Josepha Ortiz de Dominguez, and Eva Wu are just a few of the courageous women featured in this book. Interspersed with these exciting tales are fun activities for girls, such as how to make a spy camera, an undercover spy disguise, and invisible ink, and spy factoids on "escape and evasion" scarves, lipstick pistols, and "topoquilts" used during the Civil War.Read More
