The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict

2.0

I was quite disappointed in this book. Too much of the focus seemed to be on her self worth in connection to a man. I was hoping for more insight about how she became interested in science and technology but it was all about her insecurities, guilt, and relationships with men. I admittedly don't know much about Hedy Lamarr on a personal level so I don't know if she actually thought this way, but it seems very superficial and unappealing. The story was an easy read but overall not impressive.
