HYBRID EVENT (IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL)
Misread Signals with Dermot Turing
Monday, October 26 | 6:30 PM ET | Free! No registration required.
Bletchley Park is often remembered as a place where brilliant men like Alan Turing and William F. Friedman cracked codes while women served in supporting roles. But this is not the full story. Across Britain and the United States, women such as Agnes Driscoll, Mary C. Lane, Ann Caracristi, and Elizebeth Friedman played critical roles in codebreaking, yet when histories were written, these women were left out.
Who were these women? What did they achieve? And how did they vanish from public memory? Join codebreaking historian and Spy Museum Honorary Board Member Dermot Turing as he shines a light on these long-ignored pioneers, drawing from his new book, Misread Signals: How History Overlooked Women Codebreakers.
