While their brothers and boyfriends took up arms, these women moved to Washington and learned the meticulous work of code breaking. Their efforts shortened the war, saved countless lives, and gave them access to careers previously denied to them. A strict vow of secrecy nearly erased their efforts from history; now, through dazzling research and interviews with surviving code girls, bestselling author Liza Mundy brings to life this riveting and vital story of American courage, service, and scientific accomplishment. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Cryptography $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, Female $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Cryptographers $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Cryptography $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 1 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Cryptography. 650 1 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Participation, Female. 650 1 $a Cryptographers. 650 1 $a Cryptography. 700 1 $a Lakin, Christine, $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12377622?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/bsa_9781094032122_180.jpeg 941 $a 2 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806013914.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20191205014837.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1944CB96173311EAA50A8A4997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
