She possessed a stunning beauty. She also possessed a stunning mind.
Could the world handle both?
Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led
to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything
else, she overheard the Third Reich's plans while at her husband's side,
understanding more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee
in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in
Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star.
But she kept a secret more shocking than her heritage or her marriage:
She was a scientist. And she knew a few secrets about the enemy. She had
an idea that might help the country fight the Nazis...if anyone would
listen to her.
A powerful novel based on the incredible true story of the glamour icon
and scientist whose groundbreaking invention revolutionized modern
communication, The Only Woman in the Room is a masterpiece.
