Here it is! The new film about Hertha Ayrton! A Jewish girl from Portsea became the first woman Member of Institution of Electrical Engineers & first woman to be nominated as Fellow of the Royal Society in 1902! This is her story: m.youtube.com/watch?v=ahLt9A…

Continuing the story of Hertha Ayrton with @claudiahammond ...this time at the IET (formerly #IEE) where Hertha became the first female member in 1899! It would not be till 1958 that IEE would elect another!
