Mendez\, author of the new memoir In True Face: A Woman’s Life in the CIA Unmasked (2024)\, began her career at the CIA as a “contract wife\,” performing secretarial duties for the CIA as a convenience to her husband\, and eventually rose to management within the Office of Technical Services.\n\nThroughout her 27-year career at the CIA\, Mendez navigated the gendered culture of sexism while never wavering in her patriotism and witnessed the effect this gendered culture had on the women who served at the CIA and the overall mission. Her experience includes overseeing disguise operations throughout the Cold War in hostile environments from Moscow to Havana to Beijing\, and later taking cutting-edge technology into the Oval Office! \nSince retiring more than 20 years ago\, Mendez has contributed greatly to the development of the International Spy Museum and has cowritten books like The Moscow Rules (2019)\, ARGO (2012)\, and Spy Dust (2002). \nThose who attend our event in person will have the opportunity to speak directly with this remarkable intelligence officer and get a signed copy of In True Face. \nThere will be time for audience questions. The event will be recorded and posted on our website and YouTube channel. Immediately following the event\, there will be a reception for all in-person attendees on the Mason Square Plaza. \n\nThe Hayden Center is located at George Mason University‘s Schar School of Policy and Government in Arlington\, VA. General Hayden\, our founder\, has been a distinguished visiting professor at Schar School for 15 years. David Priess\, Director of Intelligence for Bedrock Learning\, former publisher of Lawfare & chief operating officer of the Lawfare Institute\, author\, and a former CIA analyst and briefer\, has also taught at the Schar School. \n\nFor more about the Hayden Center\, visit our website at haydencenter.gmu.edu.
