And by saying that, I don’t mean to disregard Mrs Lamarr’s contribution. It has probably been a decisive one.

What it is infuriating, it’s by knowing someone’s profession, people think they know everything they need to know about this person… Heddy Lamarr was an actress, just not only that…
Oh, definitely. Had the higher-ups taken her seriously, WWII might have ended that much quickly. Instead, it took twenty years before her contributions were looked at the right way. Of course, the military has a habit of doing this regardless of gender.
