I love both of these. Speaking of women coders, there's a wonderful, absorbing book called "The Woman Who Smashed Codes: A True Story of Love, Spies, and the Unlikely Heroine Who Outwitted America's Enemies. It's by Jason Fagone. The woman was Elizabeth Friedman, and she did hugely important work during WW2. Any surprise that her codebreaker husband tended to get the credit for what she did?

Thank you, Linda. It is amazing, isn't it? The closer we look, the more we see. And see how bad things were....
