FBI Celebrates 50th Anniversary that Female Special Agents Joined the Agency

In May 1972, only ten days after J. Edgar Hoover’s passing, the acting director said the FBI would now consider applications from women who wanted to become special agents, reversing a long-standing practise.

Joanne Pierce (Misko) and Susan Roley (Malone) started their training at the FBI Academy in Quantico on July 17, 1972. Eleven women would be sworn in as special agents before the end of that year.

The first female agents paved the way for thousands of more to follow.

Although they are a growing and vital element of the FBI, women are still underrepresented among special agents today.

Women are present in all 56 of the FBI’s field offices – many of which they are leading – and have advanced to positions of leadership, and daily have an unquestionable influence on cases and investigations.

  9. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team. At the Lucas Moripe Stadium, they will host Chippa United to open the 2022–23 DStv Premiership season on August 7 at 17:30.
