Hedy Lamarr's Double Life: Hollywood Legend and Brilliant Inventor (Volume 4) (People Who Shaped Our World)

â€œRevelatory to young audiences in more ways than one.â€ â€”Kirkus

â€œMany STEM-for-girls biographies fan excitement over womenâ€™s achievements, but this title actually brings the central scientific concept within middle-grade reach.â€ â€”The Bulletin of the Center for Childrenâ€™s Books

Movie star by day, ace inventor at night: learn about the hidden life of actress Hedy Lamarr!
Â
To her adoring public, Hedy Lamarr was a glamorous movie star, widely considered the most beautiful woman in the world. But in private, she was something more: a brilliant inventor. And for many years only her closest friends knew her secret. Now Laurie Wallmark and Katy Wu, who collaborated on Sterlingâ€™s critically acclaimed picture-book biography Grace Hopper: Queen of Computer Code, tell the inspiring story of how, during World War Two, Lamarr developed a groundbreaking communications system that still remains essential to the security of todayâ€™s technology.
