I think society tends to forget just how important women were to code breaking and computing. So much of the actual work was done by these brave, brilliant women! It's also no mistake that women were usually forced out of these jobs when they became higher paying and more prestigious

This reminds me of the Calutron Girls, young women who were trained to operate the machines used to enrich uranium at Oak Ridge, TN for the Manhattan Project. It was so secretive they weren't even told what they were producing, just how to do it. They got so good at it though that they even outperformed the scientists!

Thank you for covering this topic! I knew about the decryption efforts that led to the Rosenbergs' convictions, but never knew there were so many women involved. What a shame that the Project Venona women all seem to have passed without getting the recognition they deserved - I would love to see a movie like Hidden Figures on their work.

I'll add that the Rosenbergs were the first American civilians executed for espionage, and their sons are still alive and told their own stories from recollections of their childhood. I guess it's not super relevant to the video but one reason for pushback on the Rosenberg case was that they were Jewish, and Jewish organizations/activists were frequently (unfairly) under surveillance during the Red Scare.

@ZedaZ80 I'm not joking. I've literally never heard that stereotyoe, so that's interesting to learn. Growing up, the top students in pretty much every subject were majority the girls, and our high school valedictorian was a girl most of us had known since 1st grade. Plus, the only times we'd had a male maths teacher were the 3 years in middle school. Suppose for context, we'd all been stuck in the same group from 1st to 12th grade due to the very limited options for immersion classes.

This reminds me of Bletchley Park, where British code breakers worked in secret to decipher Soviet codes. I first learned about it from the series “The Bletchley Circle”, in which four women reunite several years after WWII to solve a series of seemingly unrelated murders using their code breaking skills. I just looked it up and saw that there is also “The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco”, so I’ll have to check that out.

He AND his wife were both Soviet spies, and when asked about it decades later he admitted he lied, but said it was his wife or Ethel and that he would do it again. So of the two couples only Ethel was innocent. One of the many reasons I am opposed to the death penalty.
