We've heard of women who became nurses treating soldiers with battlefield injuries, partisans who fought occupying armies, and skilled laborers who worked in wartime industries. But in the shadows, as part of a secret war against the Nazis, women served as intelligence agents who risked their lives to collect and relay information vital to the war effort. Danger lurked at every turn-a danger that some were not able to evade forever.

Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man's world filled with engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, military tacticians, political scientists, and linguists. But women did much more during World War II than resupply coffee and shuffle papers. Even beyond nursing and manufacturing, women working top-secret desk jobs played an integral role in supporting the Allied effort. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers of WWII is an opportunity to showcase the exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. The life of a female codebreaker was not a simple one. Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts inside and outside the office. Despite the constant need to "prove" themselves and justify their life choices to men and women alike, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes, but rather as citizens performing their duty, in common with the pragmatic attitudes that many people held during the war. As such, their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar-often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and therefore general public awareness.The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold.Many of the men who served in the war have been made heroes through the documentation of and telling and retelling of their daring exploits. Not so the unsung women heroes of WWII.Inside Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII you'll learn the true stories of female code breakers whose top-secret work helped win World War II, including: ¿ the stories of Elizebeth Friedman, Joan Clarke, Coral Hinds, and many other great minds working for the Allied forces from the United States, Great Britain, and Australia-all of whom were trailblazers in the field of cryptography¿ a simple rundown on cryptography as a science, the history of its use, and what it took to break wartime codes ¿ the legacies of these exceptional women, and the impacts their work had both on the war effort and in the years after ¿ the social constraints and sexist attitudes that women faced, even as they worked on highly classified projectsBy knowing the names and faces of the heroic women codebreakers of WWII, we are finally allowing their lives and accomplishments to shine. If you are looking for a unique perspective of wartime history then Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII is a great place to start!

And while men shot to kill in the North African, European, and the Pacific theaters of war, nurses served right behind them, armed with tools of healing rather than warfare.It's hard to imagine today what life was like during the greatest conflict in recent history, but these untold true stories of women heroes of WWII paint a vivid picture of life as a military nurse-from makeshift field hospitals in France to bombed-out station hospitals in Belgium to journeys fraught with danger on ambulance trains, air ambulances, and hospital ships.Inside Nightingales, Bluebirds & Angels of Mercy: True Stories of the Courage and Heroism of Nurses on the Front Line in WWII, you'll learn the true stories of nurses in the Second World War, including¿ what it was like for a woman to join the armed services as a nurse and travel across the world to do her duty,¿ the challenges and dangers the Allied nurses faced on the front lines, as well as the camaraderie and wartime romances they experienced, ¿ how these women confronted changing social norms around gender and race,¿ true stories of survival at the hands of enemy forces in Japanese prisoner-of-war camps, and more.The stories of these brave women are an inspiring record of duty and selflessness.
