Summary Of The Only Woman in the Room: By Marie Benedict

By Alma Duncan

Marie Benedict's work of historical fiction, The Only Woman in the Room, tells the life story of Hedy Lamarr, a famed actress of the 1930s and 1940s. The 2019 novel rewrites Lamarr's legacy by focusing on her path towards inventing a frequency-hopping radio technology that anticipates wi-fi. Benedict uses the political machinations of WWII and Hedy's experiences to explore performativity, guilt, and sexism.
