During World War I, Marguerite Harrison became the first female foreign intelligence agent employed by US military intelligence. While relatively unknown today, she played a major role in normalizing the idea of a woman working in American intelligence. She also had an interesting career that took her from Germany during the Versailles Conference, to the Soviet Union, and later to the oil fields of the Middle East. To share her remarkable story, we sat down with Dr. Elizabeth Atwood, author of the book: The Liberation of Marguerite Harrison: America's First Female Foreign Intelligence Agent.
