The Women's Engineering Society

WES is the voice of the woman engineer

WES was formed in 1919 when women engineers were a new breed in a male-dominated environment. Because of their own sense of isolation, early members wanted to help other women engineers to meet and exchange ideas on common interests, training and employment. WES today is a growing, vigorous organisation for those interested in engineering.
