Valerie Plame Wilson
Valerie Plame Wilson is often remembered for being outed by the Bush administration as a covert CIA agent. She wrote about that experience in her New York Times bestselling memoir, "Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House."
She's also an advocate for postpartum depression after struggling with the condition following the birth of her twins.
Valerie Plame Wilson will discuss her experiences at the upcoming Sisisky-Kleppinger Annual Endowed Lecture for Women’s Health, sponsored by Baptist Health.
Wilson joins us with a preview.
