About
Join the Wakefield Historical Society for a free talk from Professor Graeme Gooday and Dr Katie Carpenter about Mabel Lucy Matthews.
Very early in the electrification of the home, the need for informing women about the advantages, and the dangers, of this new form of power became apparent. Wakefield-born woman, Mabel Lucy Matthews, met that need by founding the Electrical Association for Women in November 1924, exactly a century ago. For a woman to have a leading role in the world of electrical engineering at this date was unique.
Please note the date has changed from Wednesday 13 November to Tuesday 12 November.
