Excuse me, could you clarify who exactly is being referred to as "the woman in cryptology"? Is this a specific individual who has made notable contributions to the field of cryptography, or is it a broader term used to describe women working in the realm of cryptography and cryptology in general? If it's the latter, I'd be interested in hearing about some of the notable women who have made significant impacts in this field. On the other hand, if it's a specific person, I'd love to learn more about their accomplishments and how they've contributed to the world of cryptology.
