An inspiring graphic novel about Elizebeth Friedman, a codebreaking
pioneer who changed the course of World War II. Nazi spy rings!
No-good gangsters! Shakespearian lies! Discover the courageous
woman who cracked all these cases and more—with only a pencil and
paper. The youngest of ten siblings, Elizebeth Friedman stood out
from an early age with brilliant language skills and a passion for
English literature. Eventually, these talents led to a new
opportunity: codebreaking. Using ciphers and other trailblazing
techniques, Friedman solved coded messages to take down some of the
most notorious gangsters in the United States, including the
infamous Al Capone. During World War II, as German forces stormed
across Europe, she took her skills to the frontlines, thwarting
Nazi spies and helping lead Allied forces to victory. In this
action-packed, full-color graphic novel, learn more about this
daring woman who took risks, defied expectations, and confronted
the enemies of World War II. Other Women Warriors of World War II:
