Bletchley Park was – so we’re told – staffed mostly by women, who had menial roles, while a handful of pipe-smoking, male boffins did the brainy, codebreaking stuff. As with many urban myths, it’s simply not true: women as well as men had serious, full-on, codebreaking roles. And not just at Bletchley, but in codebreaking agencies in the United States and even in Germany.
Yet, when the histories were written, the codebreaker women were somehow left out. Who were they? What did they achieve? How was it they vanished? What happened to them after the war?
Join acclaimed author Dermot Turing as he shares his rigorous research in the first book to focus, with an international perspective, on women codebreakers.
