Code Girls

This bestselling book uncovers the hidden history of over ten thousand American women who served as codebreakers during World War II, working in Washington to assist in shortening the war and saving lives. Recruited from small towns and elite colleges, these women faced a strict vow of secrecy that kept their contributions largely hidden for years. Through extensive research and interviews, author Liza Mundy vividly brings to light their vital stories of courage, service, and scientific achievement.
