Abstract
This arrticle tells the story of women’s work in engineering and testing in the 20th century in the UK. During the First World War, large numbers of women were brought into the engineering workforce for munitions work. They were working with newly developed designs, techniques, and materials. For women who were interested in an engineering career, it seemed that this could be the start of a new profession for women, but they were later met with many obstacles.
