This anthology collects profiles of pioneering women engineers and analyses of the status and prospects for women in engineering at different times during the 20th century. Material was first published in many different formats, from popular magazines to scholarly journals, and illuminates the professional lives of women engineers through articles, lectures, reports, and essays dating back to the 1920s. The book includes reports from the Women's Bureau of the US Department of Labor encouraging women to pursue engineering careers during and after World War II, career advice from pioneer Elsie Eaves, and a retrospective of the Society of Women Engineers' guidance activities. Lane is project director of a program created at Virginia Tech to increase the participation and advancement of women in academic science and engineering careers.
