Lady Katharine Parsons’s speech to the Victory Meeting, Newcastle Upon Tyne, 9th July 1919
This is a re-enactment of the speech given by Lady Parsons, produced by History’s Maid for the Electrifying Women project.
Lady Parsons gave this speech shortly after she and others had launched the Women’s Engineering Society on June 23rd 1919.
Can we interpret it as a part of a recruiting drive to increase the membership of WES?
