Bomb meets Code Girls in this fascinating narrative nonfiction look at the little-known female scientists who were critical to the invention of the Atomic Bomb, and the moral implications of their work.

"Meet the World War II female scientists who worked in the secret sites of the Manhattan Project. Recruited not only from labs and universities from across the United States but also from countries abroad, these scientists helped in -- and often initiated -- the development of the atomic bomb, taking starring roles in the Manhattan Project. In fact, their involvement was critical to its success, though many of them were not fully aware of the consequences."--
