Electric Dreams 2024 - Electric Wonderland? Women and the 1930s Modern Home by Sarah Yates
Central Library, Regent Circus, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 1QG
In the early 20th century, a group of pioneering women campaigned and demonstrated in practical ways how new technology could improve the lives and homes of all women. The newly established Women’s Engineering Society and the Electrical Association for Women sought to harness opportunities provided by electricity to make women’s lives better, placing their needs, especially in the home, at the centre of this massive technological and social shift.
Join WES, and architectural historian, Sarah Yates at the Local Studies (Swindon Libraries) as we celebrate the role of the Electrical Association for Women and reflect on how electricity impacts our everyday lives in the past, today and the future.
