The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict Book Summary

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

THE USA TODAY BESTSELLER

Bestselling author Marie Benedict reveals the story of a brilliant woman scientist only remembered for her beauty.

Her beauty almost certainly saved her from the rising Nazi party and led to marriage with an Austrian arms dealer. Underestimated in everything else, she overheard the Third Reich's plans while at her husband's side and understood more than anyone would guess. She devised a plan to flee in disguise from their castle, and the whirlwind escape landed her in Hollywood. She became Hedy Lamarr, screen star.

But she kept a secret more shocking than her heritage or her marriage: she was a scientist. And she had an idea that might help the country fight the Nazis and revolutionize modern communication...if anyone would listen to her.

A powerful book based on the incredible true story of the glamour icon and scientist, The Only Woman in the Room is a masterpiece that celebrates the many women in science that history has overlooked.

On many levels, this is a story that needed to be told!. An Excellent historical novel about the little known amazing secret life of well known actress & beauty, Hedy Lamar. So well written, you feel like you are living her Life in real time. Truly unbelievable weā€™re all the people she encountered and her accomplishments. A story that needs to be told on many levels.

Absolutely sensational. And a moving lesson of the history surrounding WWII. Woven around the story of Hedy Lamarā€™s life in Austria and Hollywood prior to and after Pearl Harbor.

Interesting!. Had no idea Hedy Lamar was such a force! Makes me want to go back and look at some of her old films. This was an extremely enjoyable read even though some of the subject matter is Heartbreaking. She is tough, smart, and glamorous.

Based off a real person. I had a difficult time putting this book down. I read it within two to three days and when I finished it I discovered that the main character is actually a real person. Iā€™m truly amazed.

This was a fascinating book about Heddy. Hedy . Though very frustrating that even in todays times nothing has changed.

The Only Woman in the Room.. What a fascinating historical book about a beautiful young actress and her challenges and survival as a captive wife of an arms dealer during the start of the World War and how she fought to make a life for herself in America while finding a way to help in the war effort, only to have her dream derailed because her invention was made by a woman and a composer. Even more fascinating to know the technology she developed is still used today in Bluetooth technology. Couldnā€™t put it down!!

No depth to the writing. An audience pleasing narrative with sex,powerful men, and engaging plot. Especially effective Because it is based on the truth. Add woman who society values for her beauty not brains, and you have your perfect post #metoo novel. Superficial writing, didnā€™t like first person narrative,too much repetition of her ā€œfeelings of guiltā€. The parts that were obviously true were interesting ,but the character wasnā€™t developed enough for us to even surmise what she would have really felt. Rather shallow book.

Wow, keep me enthralled. Had no idea about this story or what it was about and it did not disappoint. I was enthralled from the start. What an amazing story.

I enjoyed this book. This time period is my favorite to read about. Fascinating life of Hedy.

This author has outdone herself. If you read this novel you will learn about Churchill and his wife! A lot of history in this story
