Joan Clarke

Hi, do you know about Joan Clarke? Come on, give me an answer! Joan Clarke, who was an important woman in Mathematics, was born in London in 1917. She was a very important woman. One of her neighbours say that she never talked about her personal background. Besides, she was quite awkward in social situations, as we can see. Oh, it's a long time since I last saw you, Joan. Oh, yes - How are you? But, why do you want to know that? Joan Clarke studied Maths in Dulwich High School. Thanks to her abilities, in 1940 she became one of the few women code breakers at Bletchley Park. But it wasn't too easy for her. Oh, I'm late, may I come in? The secretaries' job is upstairs. But I'm here for the crossword puzzle. Have you done it by yourself? Of course, I have a prodigious mind. OK, take a seat. - Thanks. After five minutes… OK, finished. Joan Clarke went to Bletchley Park, which was a top undercover place. She helped Alan Turing, who was a genius mathematician, with her prodigious mind. Finally, they won the Second World War code-breaking an unbreakable machine where the Germans had all the information about the bombings (and places where) the Nazis were going to bomb.
