She possessed a stunning beauty. She also possessed a
stunning mind. Could the world handle both?
Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi
party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer.
Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third
Reich's plans while at her husband's side, understanding
more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in
disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed
her in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star.
But she kept a secret more shocking than her heritage or her
marriage: she was a scientist. And she knew a few secrets
about the enemy. She had an idea that might help the country
fight the Nazis...if anyone would listen to her.
A powerful novel based on the incredible true story of the
glamour icon and scientist whose groundbreaking invention
revolutionized modern communication, The Only Woman in the
Room is a masterpiece.
