EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures Miss Anne James, a trailblazing female engineer and lubrication expert at Alexander Duckham & Co. Ltd., hard at work on some machinery in the 1970s. As a tribologist, she is dedicated to ensuring that these machines run smoothly and efficiently through her expertise in lubrication. Miss James represents the growing presence of women in traditionally male-dominated fields such as engineering during this era. Her determination and skill challenge societal norms and pave the way for future generations of women to pursue careers in STEM. In an age where gender equality was still a distant goal, Miss James stands as a symbol of progress and empowerment for women everywhere. Her dedication to her job not only showcases her talent but also serves as a reminder of the importance of education and equal opportunities for all individuals regardless of gender. As we look back on this historical photograph, we are reminded of the social movements that were taking place in the 1970s to break down barriers and create more inclusive workplaces. Miss Anne James is not just an engineer; she is a pioneer, a feminist icon who continues to inspire us with her passion for her work and commitment to excellence.
