Synopsis

Hedy Lamarr might not be familiar to kids today, but they're certainly familiar with movie stars like her. Hedy Lamarr's Double Life is an inspiring story about how an A-list actress was inspired by engineering design, and how she eventually contributed to "frequency hopping," technology that's still used today. In addition to containing some enlightening information on how frequencies work, this is an inspiring story (especially for girls) about relying on their intelligence, talent, and curiosity.
