More than a century has
passed since women were first able to start to become engineers. Many of the
first women in this field did not merely pioneer a new career for females, but
also made important contributions to engineering in the UK. Dr Nina Baker
shares some of the terrific stories about amazing women, from her years of
research into these hidden histories. This talk is part of the centenary
celebrations of the Women's Engineering Society, founded in 1919.
