The Only Woman in the Room

This book was…adequate. Hedy Lamarr’s story is one steeped in romance and intrigue. She was an actress and inventor, probably best known on the internet for her work on a radio guidance system, paving the road toward Bluetooth technology.
Told in first-person perspective, this book follows Hedy as she escapes a dangerous marriage, begins a film career in Hollywood and pitches her invention to the U.S. Navy. Sounds exciting, huh? Unfortunately, this Hedy is written in a bland, okay-ish way that the book never really finds any oomph. This is supposed to be the same young woman who simulated the first-ever non-pornographic female orgasm on screen in the movie “The Ecstasy” but from reading this book, you’d never guess it.
