In Disguise! (Paperback)

Girls will 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. <p>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.
