Great documentary. It is a wonderful look at how women were recruited as computers and helped win WWII.
If you enjoy this subject and film, you must investigate about how women were recruited into the USN and stationed in Dayton, Ohio to build and program the computer which greatly sped up the breaking of the German Enigma code. They worked in Building 26 at NCR while being housed in cabins about a mile away on NCR property called "Sugar Camp".
And, there were still other women who participated by providing their long hair to be used for the crosshairs in the Norden bombsights.
And, women pilots ferried planes to England and across the US to allow the men to actually fly these planes in combat.
And, let's not forget Rear Admiral Grace Hopper who was a driving force in the use of electronic computers.
Obviously, later on, women were still used as computers, but this time by NASA and famously calculated the trajectories of spacecraft.
So, there are many stories, many more than listed here, with films about the exploits of these fantastic women who helped save the world from Nazi dominance during WWII as well as giving us what we now refer to as the Space Age.
Every one of these women, and many more, should be honored and respected for without their efforts it is difficult to say if the accomplishments they achieved would have ever occurred in the same timeline or even at all.
