By age 11, she had done her A levels (which are usually taken at 18) and by age 13, she had won a scholarship to study at John Hopkins University.
At just 20 years of age, Anne-Marie had graduated from Oxford University with a Masters in Mathematics and Computer Science.
Anne-Marie is also an author She’s In Ctrl: How Women Can Take Back Tech, she’s a seasoned speaker, a podcast host, a Trustee Of the Institute for the Future of Work, a TV presenter (Countdown), and Anne-Marie works with media companies like BBC and 20th Century Fox to ensure that we see more diverse tech role models on screen.

Hedy Lamarr Documentary Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story
Hidden Figures Book by Margot Lee Shetterly
Welcome, welcome - come take the load off, except not literally, because this is a podcast and does not exist in three dimensions. Today we have two bios for y'all of two great women from around the world and throughout history. Kat takes us through the life of Hedy Lamarr, Austrian inventor turned Hollywood actress. Kaleigh then sends us barreling back in time to the Byzantine Empire, where she recounts the tale of Empress Theodora, sex worker turned, you guessed it, Empress.
Let's Talk!

There are over 20-billion connected wireless devices in the world today. So right now, whether you’re sitting on your couch or on your way to work, there are likely dozens of invisible WiFi signals all around you. But what if we didn’t get our data from WiFi routers?
In this episode, filmmaker Alexandra Dean tells the story of Hollywood starlet Hedy Lamarr and how she invented what became the basis for WiFi and wireless communication. Then Harald Haas explains how he’s reinventing wireless communication by turning light bulbs into wireless transmitters or, as he calls it, LiFi.
In the 1940s, Hedy Lamarr was leading a secret double life. By day she was a famous actress known as the most beautiful woman in the world. By night she was building an uncrackable wireless communication device to help allied torpedos destroy Nazi submarines. Unfortunately, the world was more interested in what she was wearing than what she was thinking.
Nearly 70 years later, Harald built on Hedy’s legacy when he discovered how to wirelessly transmit data using light. His story takes us to the TED stage where he first unveiled LiFi and reveals how the technology can bring the internet to some of the world’s most remote locations.

Hedy Lamarr suffers the greatest scam in US Patent history. Her story becomes a playbook of lessons on avoiding the greatest scam in US Patent history.
In this episode, Hedy Lamarr is the featured Everyday Heroine from the movie ‘Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story’ and the book ‘Hedy’s Folly’ by Richard Rhodes.
Right from the start, you see that the Hedy Lamarr story never has a dull moment.
First, you discover how her father was a very positive figure in her life. Her father encouraged her to be herself. He also taught her how to be curious about how things worked. He had a natural interest in technology that also inspired Hedy.
Second, you learn that her claim to fame came from her remarkable beauty. She was so beautiful that her image inspired legendary creations by others.
Third, you see how turbulent her life plays out as she works to do something important in life. She goes from rich to poor and from inspiration to desperation as she lives a high-profile life in a superficial world.
Every woman should be knowledgeable in avoiding the greatest scam in life. Imagine what the world would look like with more billionaire women. Imagine the beauty that would exist when women influence the world economy.
Finally, I wrap up the episode by sharing three lessons from Hedy on how to:
Plus, I add some insight on what makes Hedy our featured Everyday Heroine.
