About the seminar

An exhibition unveiled in 2024 revealed the hidden stories of a large number of women from Newnham College, Cambridge, who were quietly recruited for secret work at Bletchley Park in World War II. In this talk Dr Sally Waugh, one of the three curators of the exhibition, will discuss how research identified the women involved, describe some of the women and the work that they did, and consider the impact on the private lives of this group of previously unrecognized women.
