âThey built the digital age. Then they were written out of it.

âHidden Figures, Erased Codes uncovers the true history of women in computing-the architects of the modern world who vanished from the official record. Drawing on overlooked archival documents, declassified Cold War intelligence, and forgotten programmer logs, this book reclaims the legacy of the first female coders.

âIt follows the women photographed beside room-sized mainframes but mislabeled as mere "clerks" or human computers. It tracks the unsung heroes of science whose calculations launched rockets during the Space Race while others claimed the credit, and the WWII cryptanalysts whose code-breaking shortened wars but whose identities remained classified for decades.

âThese are not just anecdotes; they are the missing chapters of the history of technology. Their stories reveal how gender, bureaucracy, and secrecy conspired to bury their achievements, even as the world quietly ran on their brilliance.
