EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Lady Moir, an esteemed figure in the history of the Electrical Association for Women (EAW), during her tenure as its President from 1931 to 1935. The EAW was an influential organization that emerged from the Women's Engineering Society (WES), which was established in 1919. Lady Moir's leadership came during the 1930s, a period of significant growth and development for the association. Lady Moir's poised and confident demeanor exudes a sense of authority and dedication to the cause of advancing women in the electrical industry. Her elegant attire, adorned with pearls and a stylish hat, adds an air of sophistication to the image. The backdrop of the photograph, featuring books and scientific instruments, underscores her intellectual prowess and commitment to the pursuit of knowledge. The Electrical Association for Women played a crucial role in promoting women's education and careers in the electrical industry during a time when opportunities for women in science and engineering were limited. Lady Moir's leadership during this period helped to expand the association's reach and influence, paving the way for future generations of women in electrical engineering and technology. This photograph is a testament to Lady Moir's groundbreaking contributions to the EAW and the broader women's movement in science and engineering during the 1930s. It serves as a reminder of the importance of women's leadership and the strides made towards gender equality in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
