Description

The Bletchley Girls by Tessa Dunlop Tessa Dunlop's book tells the story of 15 women who were selected to work at Britain's most secret organisation, Bletchley Park, during the Second World War. The women, from diverse backgrounds, were hand-picked to work on highly confidential projects, often in monotonous and meticulous work that required secrecy. Their experiences, told in their own voices, reveal the scale of female involvement in Britain's wartime intelligence centre. From a refugee from Belgium to a factory worker from Northamptonshire, the women confound stereotypes with their unique stories. The book is a fascinating and intimate portrait of life at Bletchley Park, where friendships developed and the women played a crucial part in the war effort. A remarkable story of women's contributions to the war, The Bletchley Girls sheds light on a lesser-known chapter in history.
