Trailblazers: Hedy Lamarr
Most people knew her as the face on the silver screen.
A classic beauty.
A starlet.
But Hedy Lamarr had other plans.
In the middle of World War II, she co-invented a frequency-hopping communication system to prevent enemy ships from jamming Allied torpedoes.
It wasn’t taken seriously at the time.
Because she wasn’t taken seriously.
Decades later, her invention became the foundation for Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth.
She wasn’t trained as an engineer.
She wasn’t asked to help.
She just did.
Every trailblazer has a moment like this.
When brilliance comes from the least expected place.
And changes everything.
