Blue Plaques for Women Engineers
The following blue plaques exist for women engineers and those in related disciplines. If you know of others, please get in touch. During 2024/25 we have plans to add another ten blue plaques to this list to commemorate those women involved with the Electrical Association for Women, as part of the Electric Dreams Festival of Womanpower, in celebration of the EAW Centenary. If you can help to make this happen, then please get in touch.
