Welcome to the 6th episode of the SHE Talks podcast, presented by the Beazley SHE Network. Join our host, Gabriela Martineau, as she delves into the remarkable career of Elizebeth Smith Friedman, America's first female cryptanalyst. Alongside the dynamic trio of Kyle Sawdey, Hope Cuff, and Sarah Lamberg, they unravel Friedman's pioneering work in codebreaking, guiding the nation through pivotal 20th Century moments. From decrypting Shakespeare's plays to cracking codes during World War I, Prohibition, and World War II with just pencil and paper, Friedman's overlooked contributions have set the stage for generations of codebreakers. Tune in for a captivating exploration of history and cryptic triumphs.Support the show

Known as “America's first female cryptanalyst,” Elizebeth Smith Friedman was a master codebreaker who played a pivotal role in both world wars, but for many years, no one knew what she had done—not even her own family. Elizebeth didn't set out to be a codebreaker. In 1917, she was a 23-year-old English lit major, looking for an interesting job. That all changed when an eccentric millionaire whisked her off to his lavish country estate and recruited her to work on his passion project: finding the secret codes in Shakespeare's plays. Elizabeth scoured the texts alongside a tiny team of self-taught codebreakers. No hidden messages surfaced. But soon, the U.S. government came knocking with a slightly higher priority mission. Perhaps her greatest coup was when she uncovered a Nazi spy ring in North America during World War II. J. Edgar Hoover took credit on behalf of the FBI, while Friedman signed an NDA, never speaking of her achievements, and fell into obscurity. Records of what she had done were found in the National Archives annex in College Park, Maryland.

"Musician and author Johnette Downing and three-time Grammy® winner Scott Billington are the foremost children's music performers from New Orleans. Their Swamp Romp program is a Louisiana dance party that brings the sounds of Cajun music, zydeco, traditional jazz, Isleño culture, swamp pop and New Orleans rhythm and blues to life for young ears. It is a toe-tapping, interactive, and authentic roots music experience that both children and parents will enjoy and long remember. Johnette's gift for communicating with children is matched with smart musicianship and songs that make this tour of Louisiana's rich cultural landscape fun for all in attendance" (Johnette and Scott).

Today on Here's Where It Gets Interesting, let's break some secret wartime codes. Shakespeare and Al Capone. What could possibly be a link between these two men who were born centuries apart? A master codebreaker named Elizebeth Smith Friedman. If her name doesn't sound familiar, there's a reason for that. Even though she is one of the pioneers of cryptanalysis, very few people knew about her war-changing contributions until after her files were declassified in 2008. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hillsdale College's most successful alumna and one of America's greatest heroes, yet no one knows her name. Elizebeth Friedman was a codebreaker in World War I and World War II and she paved the way of codebreaking in the United States. She deserves to be honored.

It's 1929 in Cambridge, MA, and, as usual, lots is happening! . . . Why has the Queen of the Bootleggers returned from Hollywood in the wake of her smash hit talkie? . . .

Hey smarties! We're on a break for the holidays and revisiting some favorite episodes from 2021. We want to say a big thank-you for being part of the “Make Me Smart” family this year — every voicemail, question and donation made a huge difference. None of us is as smart as all of us, and we couldn't do this show without you. There's still time to help Marketplace reach its end-of-year fundraising goal. If you can, please donate here. Thanks, happy holidays and we'll see you in the new year. It's been just over 40 years since newly elected President Ronald Reagan declared, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to the problem, government is the problem.” We're about 39 years and four months away from the legislative manifestation of that idea, the Economic Recovery Tax Act, which codified “Reaganomics,” supply-side economics, trickle-down economics, whatever you want to call it. All these decades later, we're still talking a lot about this policy because Reagan was so good at promoting it. People could understand the metaphor of government spending as a household budget in need of a cutback, said Brown University political economist Mark Blyth. “That rather ignores the fact that I don't get to issue my own currency, there's no such thing as a Kai Ryssdal bond market,” Blyth said. “But because all that stuff accords with common sense, it's an easy sell.” Now we're in a new financial crisis, with plenty of data on the “trickle-up” consequences of trickle-down and a $1.9 trillion pandemic relief bill. Reagan had “Morning in America,” Joe Biden has “Infrastructure Week.” On today's show, we'll talk with Blyth about how Reaganomics was supposed to work, its ripple effects on Democrats and whether the era of “The era of big government is over” is … over. Later in the show, we'll track more big firms getting rid of their offices, wade into crypto just a bit and learn about code breaker Elizebeth Smith Friedman. Plus, a correction from a 2-year-old listener. Here are links to everything we talked about on the show today: “Bidenomics beats Reaganomics and I should know – I saw Clintonomics fail” from previous Marketplace contributor Robert Reich in the Guardian “2020 Was the Year Reaganism Died” by Paul Krugman in The New York Times “Biden is planning for a Great Society 2.0” by James Hohmann in The Washington Post “JPMorgan, Salesforce Join Growing List of Firms Dumping Office Space” from The Wall Street Journal “US 10-year Treasury yield hits highest level since January last year” from Financial Times “PayPal launches crypto checkout service” from Reuters “Visa moves to allow payment settlements using cryptocurrency” also from Reuters “How America's ‘First Female Cryptanalyst' Cracked the Code of Nazi Spies in World War II—and Never Lived to See the Credit” from Time magazine Finally, listen to Molly's interview with Make Me Smart Question answerer Aniyia Williams.

Elizebeth Smith Friedman was born to a Quaker family in rural Indiana, but a meeting with an eccentric millionaire who believed that William Shakespeare did not write all those plays would change her life, and the course of history.

She was a suburban Quaker mother and wife leading a quiet life, while behind the scenes she was central to hunting Nazi spy rings. Filmmaker Chana Gazit joins host Krys Boyd to talk about the extraordinary, secret life of cryptanalyst Elizebeth Smith Friedman. She’s the subject of the documentary “The Codebreaker,” premiering January 11 on PBS’ American Experience.

Elizebeth Smith Friedman was an amazing cryptography expert and codebreaker who changed the course of World War II. She also used her groundbreaking work to bust international smuggling & drug running throughout the world. In this episode we discuss some of the valuable contributions Ms. Friedman made to cybersecurity that, until only recently, were overlooked and unappreciated. • What are the major successes and accomplishments of Elizebeth Friedman? • In what ways would history would have been changed if Elizebeth Friedman had not made her contributions? • What is something surprising about Elizebeth Friedman's life? Tune in to hear the answers to these questions, in addition to learning a whole lot more. And, since March is Women's History Month, what a great time to learn more about this amazing woman and her impact on history!

Recruited by an eccentric millionaire to search for hidden messages in Shakespeare’s works, Elizebeth Smith Friedman became a pioneering code breaker who took on the Nazis and the mob. Her story has been buried by secrecy and sexism for nearly a century - until now. Watch this full story on the Backstory TV show.

This episode tells the story of Elizebeth Smith Friedman, one of America's first codebreakers. She and her husband, William Friedman, unwittingly became pioneers in the age of intercepted messages and unraveling the secrets of your enemies. The book, The Woman Who Smashed Codes, by Jason Fagone, walks us through how these two young people were introduced to codebreaking, ciphers and the world of hidden messages before World War I. And once they learned the patterns behind codebreaking, their services became indispensable to defeating the Nazis in World War II. You may not have heard of them, but their tireless work behind the scenes, magically turning indecipherable jumbles of letters into critical Allied intelligence, changed the course of history. We hope you enjoy this episode.

This week we are decrypting history to uncover it's biggest babes. Who is the hottest code-breaker? Is it Agnes Meyer Driscoll, Elizebeth Smith Friedman, or Alan Turing? Special guest host Meghan Griffin (@MeggGriffin), host of the podcasts Judging Book Covers, Fableulous Retellings, Handbook Podcast, and Minds at Yeerk joins us to find out!
