This was a great biography. I learned so much. I had never before heard of Elizebeth Smith, and that’s a shame really. She was an incredible code breaker, who valiantly served her country for several decades. What a heroine!

Content: tobacco, brief graphic bits about animal experiments, nudity, expletives, profanity, drugs, gambling, alcohol, brief graphic medical procedure, suicide
