JuliaChild had a hand in concocting a shark repellent that helped Allied forces blow up German U-boats during World War II, and entertainer Josephine Baker carried secret messages in sheet music across Europe.

New hires at the CIA are told the legendary stories of female spies to illustrate that espionage has been around for a long time, said Linda McCarthy, a former curator of the museum at CIA headquarters, who helped organize this exhibit.


Baker, who gave up her American citizenship in 1937 and became a French citizen, used her glamour to hide spies for the French Resistance among her entourage and transport messages hidden in her sheet music all over Europe.


Marlene Dietrich, who gave up her German citizenship in 1937 to become an American, at the request of the OSS for its propaganda efforts, recorded American songs in German that captured a wide audience in Germany.


McCarthy says one of her favorite female spies was Virginia Hall. She first learned spycraft from the British because the Americans were initially leery of her wooden leg, the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in a hunting accident. But then America sent her ashore in Normandy to organize elements of the French Resistance ahead of D-day.
