Jane Fawcett

In memory of Jane Fawcett, this event takes place on March 4, her date of birth. Jane Fawcett worked at Bletchley Park during World War II, where she deciphered a message that led directly to the sinking of a German warship, and thus directly to a victory in battle. Although she later said “what we did at Bletchley was the most significant thing we ever did in our lives”, she never spoke about her significant role in cryptanalysis until the 1990s.

We want to encourage women in tech to show off their work and talk about their successes in order to motivate young women to do the same.
