If you get chance; visit Bletchley park. They do an excellent job of portraying the role of women during the war. For example, although it was in some ways quite progressive in recognising female talent and promoting them in a limited fashion, there are other examples where women we left to do hard, hot or heavy work (like maintain the Bombe machines). From some of the interviews it's clear that a) the women understood the machines, if not from a mathematical standpoint then from an engineering one but b) many of the men, especially at the top, looked down on the WREN's operating the machines.
It's a fascinating dynamic that they've displayed very well.
And on top of that it's a fascinating place anyway.
There was a British TV show produced a couple of years ago called The Bletchley Circle which featured a group of women who had worked at Bletchley joining together again to solve crime in the 50s.
Unfortunately, despite fairly high production values, the writing wasn't very good and the show was a bit of a disappointment. There were two seasons but I didn't make it to the end of the first. It might have been better if they had made a more realistic show set during the war and focusing on these women's real experiences.
I thought it was quite an enjoyable drama. The first series was better than the second, but it was a murder mystery rather than an exposition of Bletchley Park.
Interesting, I liked it a lot. I especially liked the actress playing the lead role. I'm told the second season wasn't as good, but I'll probably watch it on Netflix like I did the first.
It would be nice to see a series set at Bletchley during the war that focused, as least in part, on the role of the women there.
Netflix has a drama series that has a fairly realistic portrayal. For me, the crux of the show is how they have to maintain "normal lives" in the gender-skewed 50s after doing such critical, technical work they can not talk about in public, nor get recognition for.
It's a fascinating dynamic that they've displayed very well.
And on top of that it's a fascinating place anyway.
