An online exhibition looking at the struggle women encountered to gain acceptance as engineers and the work of the Women's Engineering Society and the Electrical Association for Women to educate and assist them.
Women engineers in the last century had two problems: first, the struggle to gain training, jobs and acceptance and second, how to use engineering to lighten women's domestic burden. We tell this story in "Emancipation from Drudgery", an Archives exhibition on the history of the Women's Engineering Society and the Electrical Association for Women.
