Inspiration Behind the Name
The Dot is named for Dorothy Braden who was a high school physics and French teacher until she heard that the Army was looking for college-educated southern teachers. The details of the position were vague, and the strange interview was held in a random hotel room, but according to her she was "up for anything at that point." In just a few weeks, Dot learned Japanese and became an expert cryptographer. She even knew that the Japanese had surrendered before President Truman did. This job was very hush-hush, so Dot and her coworkers were threatened with espionage punishable by life in prison.
