Four female CIA officers told a crowd of aspiring intelligence professionals at the Spy Museum that the agency is good place to work.
Flynn and her panel partners also agreed that the CIA has always been a welcoming employer for women. Middleton recalled that CIA’s founding director, Allen Dulles, formed “a petticoat panel” in the 1950s to address the concerns of the women employees.
