Bletchley Circle

The Bletchley Circle refers to a group of women who worked at Bletchley Park during World War II, where they played a crucial role in deciphering encrypted German communications. Their work contributed significantly to the Allied victory by providing vital intelligence information. After the war, many of these women returned to ordinary life, their achievements largely unrecognized. The term symbolizes not only their contributions to wartime efforts but also highlights themes of gender roles, intelligence work, and the importance of recognition for those whose efforts were historically overlooked.
