[2] Then, with the assistance and co-authorship of her son, Gethin Russell-Jones, she produced a memoir, My Secret Life in Hut Six (Lion Books, Oxford, 2014).
She discusses her experience on working in unconformable conditions, the danger and strain she suffered as a woman during her time at Bletchley Park.
“Station X – known now as Bletchley Park – was the hub of Britain’s code-cracking effort, where hugely talented mathematicians, inventors and “bright young things” like Mair Russell-Jones worked tirelessly to give the armed forces a crucial helping-hand.
As Winston Churchill himself made clear, the accurate information which flowed from Bletchley Park, at a rate which sometimes reached 6,000 messages a day, saved lives and gave Britain a crucial edge in battle.” [6] The book also highlights Mair’s love for music and her abilities.
In a review of Mair’s book ‘My Secret Life in Hut Six, and about the women of Bletchley, Christensen claims “At its peak in May 1945, more than 12,000 people worked at Bletchley or its outstations, over 8,000 of them women.” In November 2011, Mair Russell-Jones discussed the war and how it affected her personal life to BBC.
