Code Girls
Code Girls: The Untold Story of the American Women Code Breakers of World War II documents the work of thousands of female American codebreakers during World War II,[10] including top analysts such as Elizebeth Friedman and Agnes Driscoll, lesser known but outstanding contributors like Genevieve Grotjan Feinstein and Ann Zeilinger Caracristi, and many others. It received positive reviews in the New York Times,[10] the Washington Post,[11] and the Christian Science Monitor, though the Monitor also stated that "Mundy doesn't entirely succeed in deciphering the extraordinary complexity of codes and cryptography for layperson readers. It can be hard to understand exactly how codes were created and cracked."[12] Smithsonian ranked it one of the ten best science books of 2017.[13]
