Review: A fine biography about a fascinating woman who made a difference in not 1, but 2, world wars. - While nobody heard of Emily Anderson - until now - this book will change that! Anderson was a fabulous code-breaker, musically gifted, and made a difference. She was honoured by the UK for wartime code-breaking, and then Germany for deciphering the letters and notes of Beethoven. The author does a fine job of setting out the politics and mechanisms of code-breaking in the First and Second World Wars. The clear writing style keeps the story moving from the drama of the conflict(s) to the just-as-fascinating musical research into the letters of Beethoven. Excellent. Review: Great topic, needs a rework - I wanted to read this as the women in the war never get the recognition they deserve. Therefore I was a bit disappointed by the quality of the writing. Things were often repeated. It could have done with the publisher giving it a good going over before printing. Having said that Emily Anderson was obviously a remarkable woman and I'm very pleased to have found out more about her and her colleagues in the code breaking world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 280,678 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 231 in Women in History 2,215 in Social & Cultural History 66,557 in Society, Politics & Philosophy | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (60) | | Dimensions | 12.8 x 3.4 x 19.6 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1472295501 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1472295507 | | Item weight | 310 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 432 pages | | Publication date | 8 Feb. 2024 | | Publisher | Headline | ## Images ![Queen of Codes: The Secret Life of Emily Anderson, Britain's Greatest Female Code Breaker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-Aq5cC3gL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fine biography about a fascinating woman who made a difference in not 1, but 2, world wars. *by E***D on 24 April 2023* While nobody heard of Emily Anderson - until now - this book will change that!

Therefore I was a bit disappointed by the quality of the writing. Things were often repeated. It could have done with the publisher giving it a good going over before printing. Having said that Emily Anderson was obviously a remarkable woman and I'm very pleased to have found out more about her and her colleagues in the code breaking world. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A glimpse into an intriguing life story *by T***L on 1 February 2025* Emily Anderson was an impressive person. I already had her edition of Mozart’s letters, but I had no idea of her life as a code breaker. She was too discreet to allow a biographer much scope for real scrutiny, though circumstances seem to allow an inference of a lesbian relationship, but what we are told, even if rather dry, shows a remarkable character and achievement. ## Frequently Bought Together - Queen of Codes: The Secret Life of Emily Anderson, Britain's Greatest Female Code Breaker - X Troop: The Secret Jewish Commandos Who Helped Defeat the Nazis --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/612185494-queen-of-codes-the-secret-life-of-emily-anderson-britains](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/612185494-queen-of-codes-the-secret-life-of-emily-anderson-britains) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-21*
