A very belated Ada Lovelace Day to Dame Caroline Haslett
Hi
I was desperately trying to recall this lady's name when Ada Lovelace day came about.
Dame Caroline Haslett was "first secretary of the Women's Engineering Society (WES) and was President in 1941. In 1924 she became the first director of the Electrical Association for Women of which she was a joint-founder. She became Chairman of the Council of Scientific Management in the Home and presented papers on home management in various countries".
Find out more about her on the IET site.
She's written a couple of books about Electricity in the Home and was active in female participation in the delivery of Electricity at a significant point in the history of Electricity Distribution - the building and commissioning of the UK Grid system. This revolutionised domestic electrical opportunities and Dame Caroline was certainly a woman of her time.
