A special pop-up exhibition for International Women's Day.
Discover the once-secret story of how more than 70 students of Newnham College, a women's college in Cambridge, were recruited to work at Bletchley Park during World War Two, thanks partly to the close connections between key figures at Newnham and Bletchley Park.
In this exhibition, originally on display at Newnham College, you will discover these links and how Newnham supplied Bletchley Park with mathematicians, modern linguists, classicists, historians, English graduates and others to aid in cryptanalysis. Many of these women felt unable to reveal their part in this top-secret work to anyone, so lots of their experiences lay hidden.
The story of the women of Newnham College at Bletchley Park was slowly revealed and uncovered by painstaking research by Dr Sally Waugh, Dr Gillian Sutherland and College Archivist Frieda Midgeley, with the help of Bletchley Park.
