Hedy Lamarr
We daresay that Hedy Lamarr is among the most fascinating ladies you will find here. It is iconic enough to be the first woman to depict female orgasm on the big screen, but she did more than that. After the Second World War broke out, she began working on “frequency hopping”, a technique used to solve the problem of radio signal jamming that made it hard for submarines to control torpedos. While it was unused for a while after she got it patented, it helped with the invention of military and civilian devices.
