Approximately 8000 women worked at #BletchleyPark during WW2.

One codebreaker I can quickly look up is #JaneFawcett MBE.

“In 1940, at the age of 18, she was interviewed by senior #codebreaker#StuartMilnerBarry, and joined the secret codebreaking project at Bletchley Park. She joined a group of women known as the "#Debs of Bletchley Park",

… “Hughes was assigned to Hut 6 a "Decoding Room" of women only”.

“On 25 May 1941, Hughes and several other women were briefed on the search for the German battleship #Bismarck. Shortly thereafter, she decoded a message referring to the Bismarck that detailed its current position and destination in France.“

“Her work did not come to light until decades later, during the 1990s, as it had been classified under Britain's Official Secrets Act”.

Jane passed away in 2016.
