Former CIA Agent To Speak At North Campus

Retired Central Intelligence Agency agent Martha Peterson will be a guest speaker at The Power of Story Series on Feb. 22 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at North Campus, 11380 N.W. 27th Ave., Room 3249.

The event is free and open to the public.

Peterson will speak about her book, Widow Spy, which chronicles her life as a woman in the CIA and her involvement in Moscow during the 1970s and 1980s.

“From the very first interview I had with CIA, I became aware that my road to become an operations officer would be difficult,” Peterson said. “Up until that time only a few women had achieved this position.”

The Power of Story Series invites authors to speak to students and showcase novels and autobiographies.
