Valerie Glassbow and her twin sister Mary were part of the Second World War codebreakers who helped decipher the German Enigma machine.

Working alongside Alan Turing, they deciphered enough critical code to allow Turing to refine the program of his first self built computer to break the Enigma's daily code resets in a matter of minutes rather than days.

Well done, Ladies!
