Program Description

Join Victoria Phelps in a program looks at some of the female spies in the Civil War, where there were many female spies that fought for what they believed. Meet three of these women and the women that helped them.

These women were clever, brave, and determined to fight for what they believed. These are Their stories. So, beware, you never know when Spies are among us.
