Summary

On this episode of Our American Stories, Elizabeth Smith Friedman's accomplishments were as many as they were vital to national security—so crucial that it took until the 2000s to declassify what she was doing in WWI and WWII. Hillsdale College student and substitute panelist on Constituting America’s podcast "Constitutional Chats" tells the unknown story of this remarkable decoder. We'd like to thank Constituting America for turning us onto this tale.
