Event Details

Women played a large, but rarely told, role in WWII cryptology.  College women were recruited from math departments at colleges around the country to learn cryptanalysis. Thousands of other women joining the Army and Navy were assigned to code work operating machines that broke enemy codes or transmitting coded messages to Washington.  This is their story. This online class is presented by the National Cryptologic Museum.
