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

techniques, Friedman solved coded messages to take down some of 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

daring woman who took risks, defied expectations, and confronted
