HTML:<b>An inspiring true story, perfect for fans of <i>Hidden Figures,</i> about an American woman who pioneered codebreaking in WWI and WWII but was only recently recognized for her extraordinary contributions.</b><br /> <br /> Elizebeth Smith Friedman had a rare talent for spotting patterns and solving puzzles. These skills led her to become one of the top cryptanalysts in America during both World War I and World War II.<br />  <br /> She originally came to code breaking through her love for Shakespeare when she was hired by an eccentric millionaire to prove that Shakespeare's plays had secret messages in them. Within a year, she had learned so much about code breaking that she was a star in the making. She went on to play a major role decoding messages during WWI and WWII and also for the Coast Guard's war against smugglers.<br />  <br /> Elizebeth and her husband, William, became the top code-breaking team in the US, and she did it all at a time when most women weren't welcome in the workforce.<br /> <br /> Amy Butler Greenfield is an award-winning historian and novelist who aims to shed light on this female pioneer of the STEM community.<br /> <br /> <b>*Includes a downloadable PDF of key exercises from the book</b>.
