EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the determined and focused gaze of Dame Caroline Haslett (1895-1957), an electrical engineer and champion of women's rights, as she works intently at her desk in the 1940s. The image, taken during World War II, showcases Haslett's dedication to her field amidst the challenges of the era. Born in 1895, Haslett's passion for engineering began at a young age. She went on to study electrical engineering at the University of London, a field dominated by men at the time. Despite facing numerous obstacles, Haslett persevered and became a leading figure in the telecommunications industry. During the 1940s, as the world was embroiled in the second global conflict, Haslett continued to make strides in her career. She played a significant role in the development of the telephone network during World War II, ensuring that communication lines remained operational and that essential services were maintained. A pioneer for women's rights, Haslett was a vocal advocate for gender equality in the workplace. She founded the Women's Engineering Society in 1919, which aimed to promote the education and employment of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Her tireless efforts paved the way for future generations of women in engineering and beyond. This photograph is a testament to Haslett's unwavering commitment to her work and her belief in the potential of women in the field of engineering. It is a powerful reminder of the resilience and determination of individuals during times of adversity and the importance of championing equality and opportunity for all.
