Okay, not "things," like dishes. Codes. Women who break codes.
I had the pleasure of writing about "code girls" for Goucher College. In the 1940's, young women from a number of schools, including Goucher, were recruited as code breakers to decipher complex messages from the German Enigma machines. Their work, often overlooked, contributed directly to the Allied victory in Europe in World War II.
If you watched The Bletchley Circle on PBS, it's a little like that but with less murder (hopefully) and fewer English accents.
