December 1910: A Historic Evening at Encyclopedia Britannica Dinner This evocative image captures the moment during a historic Encyclopedia Britannica dinner held to celebrate the contribution of women to the recent completion of the eleventh edition. The occasion was marked by a toast to "the work of women," and it was Janet Hogarth, head of the female staff, who rose to respond. Janet Hogarth's speech was a testament to the rich history of female involvement in the esteemed publication. She traced the evolution of women's roles at Encyclopedia Britannica from its inception, reminding the gathering that the term "woman" in the first edition was defined as the "female of man: see Homo." The image shows Hogarth, dressed in an elegant gown, standing confidently before her audience. Surrounded by a sea of formally attired men, she embodies the intellectual prowess and determination of women who have long contributed to the encyclopedia's success. The atmosphere in the room is one of recognition and appreciation for the vital role women have played in the creation and continuation of this significant reference work. This photograph, taken by Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of women's achievements and their place in the world of academia and intellectual pursuits. It serves as a reminder that the progress made in recognizing the value of women's contributions is not a recent development but rather a continuation of a long-standing tradition.
