“Code Girls” by Liza Mundy is a captivating non-fiction literature book that explores the untold story of the American women codebreakers during World War II. Through meticulous research and interviews, Mundy sheds light on the remarkable contributions of these women to cryptography and intelligence efforts. The book provides insights into the challenges they faced, their triumphs, and the lasting impact of their work. It is a fascinating account that reveals the often-overlooked role of women in codebreaking and their invaluable contribution to the war effort.

Through all these days of learning, I have summarized a lot of informations of my book and I want to share 4 pages from it. Please scroll down to see the analysis of the main ideas and recurring themes from “Code Girls”!

This is the note I took on day 4, about Code Girls. It shows my thinking in the book of how the author has used the technique of narrative + informational sections of conveying the central ideas. Showing whats narrative and informational, I have came up with the characters, settings, conflicts, and facts of Code Girls. Through out the book the author Liza Mundy gave examples of how women are contributing and dedicating WWII and the society. It also gives examples of how women’s are putting all their efforts of deciphering codes and trying to stop the war.

Below is a picture of my claim, evidence, and reasoning debate/argumentative summative preparation note from day 5. The claim which is kind of like my central idea that I have focused on the most was probably this one: “Women should be given more responsibility because it will allow them to show their potentials thus making contributions to the society’s development.” The central idea is really important because it has shown how women deserve more responsibility and opportunities in the society. They have shown their abilities of not just breaking codes but also capable on their jobs.

 

After studying the CER of Code Girls, there were many central ideas communicated in the book as well which I have studied on day 6. It was really a like from my claim but I have explored more quotes on it. The central idea I have came up with was “Responsibility”. I have showed 4 quotes and connected all of them to support my central idea. Thousands of young women from across the country flew/moved to Washington DC for WWII and were forbidden of telling anyone about their job. They were always being reliable and responsible. Despite their sacrifices, the Code Girls did not receive proportional recognition or compensation, highlighting the disparity in opportunities for women at the time. This central idea showcases the exceptional dedication and resilience of the Code Girls in fulfilling their responsibilities during a challenging period in history.

            

Lastly, I have also learned how the author descriptive passages of my book on day 8 and below is a picture of my notes. It has shown the work and bathroom environment (especially women’s) during WWII. The working environment of the Code Girls was diverse and dynamic. They were stationed in different sections based on their locations and specific roles, with some working independently and others as part of larger teams. The environment was filled with various tools, machines, and techniques that aided them in their codebreaking efforts. The book explores how the unique working environment of the Code Girls played a crucial role in their contributions to the war effort. Read below as I explore the enviorment and more of Code Girls.
