Show Notes
Happy International Women's Day! To honor this day, we celebrate Julia Parsons, a WWII code-breaker, with recognition for her secret service during the war. Initially silent about her role in deciphering German communications, she served in a U.S. Navy unit, decoding messages from the Enigma machine. Parsons, after over 50 years, shared her story with us once it she learned of its declassification.
Our documentary, Her War, Her Story" captures the essence of women's roles in WWII, showcasing stories of service, witness, and survival. Narrated by Jane Lynch, this documentary is a tribute to the courage and steadfastness of women during critical moments of history.
In this short clip from that film, you'll get a sense of their extraordinary journeys. Their stories prove that women were, without a doubt, the equal of men in every aspect during times of war and peace.
