“I was looking for something to do after leaving the convent and this was an opportunity that presented itself.”

I wasn’t really scared at the time. But afterwards, when I had time to think about it, it scared me a bit. But it didn’t discourage me from the job.

Filing that lawsuit was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, because the great majority of my feelings toward the F.B.I., and the people I worked with, are good feelings.

Most people back then didn’t even realize the F.B.I. had female agents. Many times a subject would simply open the door when I knocked, not expecting me to say, ‘F.B.I.’.

In training we were all in the same boat. We were all trying to prove ourselves.
