Typically, stories about wars describe the contributions of men and how their bravery and loyalty served their countries. While these tales of masculinity are much appreciated, the tales of feminine involvement are also needed.
Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers Who Helped Win World War IIÂ by Liza Mundy is about the work and contributions of the women who did cryptanalytic work for America and its allies during WWII. This book’s themes highly resemble the themes of Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly as they both chronicle the stories of meritorious yet under-acknowledged women who played a significant part in warranting America’s success in WWII. In Code Girls, each chapter follows the journey of a key figure in breaking a putatively undecipherable code. I enjoyed the book for providing a much-needed feminist relook on WWII, whose narratives are not only usually written by the winners but also by men.
