These men worked on the formidable Enigma and Lorenz cipher systems, helping to turn the tide of the war in the Allies' favor.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But that's not the full story. Women were not just secretaries or assistants; many were accomplished codebreakers in their own right.

These women--and many others like them--helped shape the course of intelligence history, only to be written out of it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Who were they? What did they accomplish?
