Girls who have moxie helped to win the war. Just recently did Liza Mundy open the world of who the secret code breakers were across our nation. She highlights one woman in particular, but covers a range of women who displayed patriotism to help their country before and after World War II. Ms. Mundy hits the way the influx of women affected the nation's capital in terms of housing and what to do with all the women, which was something I don't think I would have considered. She also hit on topics of what women were allowed to do and when they were expected to stop working, as the expectations were to get married and have babies. Once a woman was married and especially if they got pregnant, they were told to leave their jobs. But I have to say my favorite story was about Agnes Meyer Driscoll. Oh man, I'm glad I never met her, but she sure did have one of the greatest minds ever. Mrs. Mundy, if you're reading this, please write a longer biography about her.
