NCMF 2018 SPRING CRYPTOLOGIC PROGRAM
The NCMF's 2018 Spring Cryptologic Program featured special guest speaker Ms. Liza Mundy, best-selling author of Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II. Code Girls brings to light key roles played by thousands of female codebreakers during WWII. Over 11k women comprised more than 70% of the war's domestic codebreakers, but Ms. Mundy barely found mention of their efforts. Learn more about the book via an essay by Mundy for Slate.com in our Cryptologic Bytes Archives.
