One of our research interests
concerns the role of women who have been spies in America's conflicts.
We are grateful for the contributions of one of our summer interns, Eleanore
Jenks, who initially suggested
this topic as one that might be of interest, and who began the collection, and,

Check back often for additions. Our intern says she will keep her eyes
open!
