In the linked material there is a reference to Laura Annie Willson, founder of WES, the Womens Engineering Society.
Laura Annie Willson, (nee Buckley) was the wife of George Henry Willson, founder and owner of the Willson Lathe Company of Ovenden, Halifax, which survived through WW2 and was eventually subsumed with others into the 600 Group.
Laura was also a leading light in the Womens Social & Political Union along with Emmeline Pankhurst.
The records of the early WES meetings etc are held in the library of the IET
