The American Revolution was fought on more than just the battlefield and it couldn't have been won without the use of female spies... especially the mysterious Agent 355.

Aly Riley, historian and author, discusses her book "She Spies: Women of the American Revolution, Their Heroic Missions and Agent 355 Revealed." This is the fascinating true story of America's female espionage ring and the crucial role it played in the fight for American independence.

Who is Agent 355? To this day, we still don't know for certain, but Aly makes a strong case for who she believes it is.
