# Candace Fleming and Monica Hesse: Young Coders and Codebreakers in Wartime

Candace Fleming tells the true story of Station X, a secret home to teen girls who worked on code-cracking Nazi missives during World War II in “Enigma Girls.” Monica Hesse’s historical fiction follows Edda, a World War I “Hello Girl” called back to duty in “The Brightwood Code.” These authors discuss the contribution of young women in two world wars with Yukari Matsuyama at the 2024 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C.
