Set against the backdrop of World War II, this biography explores the remarkable life of Violet McKenzie, known as 'Mrs Mac,' who was a trailblazer in radio and electrical engineering in Australia. In 1944, she trained young women in Morse code, anticipating their vital role in the war effort. Her efforts led to the establishment of the Women's Royal Australian Naval Service (WRANS). Adored by her students and respected by the military, McKenzie’s legacy as a champion for women and a pioneer in technology is vividly recounted by David Dufty.
