History Conversations REWIND: Sharing The Burden: Women in Cryptology during World War II
March 4 - March 10
with Jennifer Wilcox, National Cryptology Museum Director of Education |
Women played a large, but rarely told, role in WWII cryptology. College women were recruited from math departments at colleges around the country to learn cryptanalysis. Thousands of other women joining the Army and Navy were assigned to code work operating machines that broke enemy codes or transmitting coded messages to Washington. This is their story. First aired in March 2023
Recording available right here March 4-10.
