I started editing at a training session in June 2019 at the Royal Society of Edinburgh which was designed to help solve the problem described here.

Most of my work has been on early women engineers around the time of WW1. I am especially interested in the training and employment opportunities they had at that time. The story of the Galloway Engineering Company based at the Tongland works in Galloway, Scotland, shows that women came from all over the UK to become engineering apprentices (including, for example, Marguerite Stocker who came as a school leaver from Jersey in 1918). Later the Tongland works produced the "Car for Women" the Galloway car.
