This is Hedy Lamarr.. The 26 year old was living in Hollywood when in September 1940, German U-boats sank a cruise ship trying to evacuate 90 British school children to Canada, 77 drowned in the north Atlantic. Lamarr, a Jewish immigrant from Nazi occupied Austria, who had been making America her home since 1938, was outraged.. She fought back by applying her engineering skills to develop a sonar submarine locator used in the Atlantic for the benefit of the Allies. The principles of her work are now used in modern Wi-Fi/Bluetooth technology, her work led to her being inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014...
