Overview
Granite Noir 2024: Queen of Codes
When the history of British codebreaking is told, the story is often a men-only preserve. That perception completely ignores the fact that the vast majority of codebreakers were in fact women. And foremost among them was one who is largely unknown to the public, and whose activities were a secret even to her closest contacts – Emily Anderson.
Jackie Uí Chionna chats about her account of a woman who may have appeared to the world as the epitome of ordinary, but was in truth anything but.
Chaired by Nasim Rebecca Asl.
