“Women and Electrical Power”
12 April ; 10:00 am – 12:00 pm
The All-Electric House designed by architect Adrian Powell and built in Bristol in 1935 for the Electrical Association for Women (EAW). The concept of this house was to demonstrate the transformative power of electricity to free women from the drudgery and fatigue of housework, and allow them to pursue employment and other career opportunities. An illustrated talk by Graeme Gooday, Professor of History of Science and Technology, University of Leeds, and Dr Katie Carpenter, Lecturer in Public History, Leeds University
