There are a dearth of pictures of this seminal American codebreaker available. The originals are better than the selections below; they're just high-quality screenshots taken from

Hope these prove useful. (As always, I also hope they help this woman get the recognition she has long deserved.)
February 9, 2024: For some reason, Blogger has decided not to let me comment on my own blog. (If anyone is wondering if I had more than one reason to stop blogging and move my content to ebooks, the answer is yes.) So for the recent commenter, and anyone else in the future: I put everything I could find out into the biography linked in the opening paragraph above. I'm sorry I wasn't able to find out anything else that isn't in there...but I didn't.)
Hello Kevin,
ReplyDeleteMy girls are working on a project on Agnes Driscoll, They would like an email interview with you regarding their project. We are hoping that you can give more information on "The Neglected Giant: Agnes Meyer Driscoll".
Thank you
I doubt I have anything to add; anything I could find, I either included in the book or footnoted. (And I no longer have access to any of the sources I used.) But you can use the contact form at the bottom of the page.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome! I'm always happy to help get "the neglected giant" the recognition she deserves.
ReplyDeleteAgnes was my grandmothers sister. I know that she was a direct descendant of Roger Williams. Would you happen to know which of the Williams children she is descended from? I had always heard growing up that it was one of the daughters. Just not sure which one. Thank you.
