Code girls

Book • 2017
Code Girls by Liza Mundy tells the story of more than 10,000 female code breakers recruited during World War II. These women, from small towns and elite colleges, played a crucial role in intercepting and decrypting enemy communications, which helped shorten the war and save countless lives.

Through extensive research and interviews with surviving code girls, Mundy brings to life this previously untold story of American courage and scientific achievement.
