NHSF Blog: Celebrating Women in Heritage Science and Engineering
In 2024, EngineeringUK reported that only 15.7% of people working in engineering and technology in the UK are women.
For over a century, the Women’s Engineering Society has worked to change this – supporting and championing women in engineering since World War I.
One of their key initiatives is International Women in Engineering Day, celebrated each year on 23 June. This month, the National Heritage Science Forum is joining in with the celebrations by spotlighting two women making important contributions at the intersection of heritage, science, and engineering.
