Join us at the Fabyan Villa for the rare opportunity to hear Laurie Wallmark, the author of Code Breaker, Spy Hunter: How Elizebeth Friedman Changed the Course of Two World Wars, give a presentation about historic women in STEM.

Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) made many contributions on the home front during World War II, but their achievements have often been overlooked. In this talk, award-winning author Laurie will discuss the work of three of these women: Grace Hopper, Hedy Lamar, and Elizebeth Friedman. From programming missile trajectories on early computers to discovering ways to jam torpedo radio transmissions to using cryptography to break up spy rings, these women's accomplishments and their names are ones everyone should know. 

The talk will last for 45 minutes with time for discussion after.

Tickets are $5/person and limited to a total of 25 people.
