Meet Hertha Ayrton – an inspiring trailblazer in British science! 🌟

Hertha achieved so much: she helped us understand electric arcs, became the first woman to join the Institution of Electrical Engineers (now the IET), and was the first female to win the Royal Society’s Hughes Medal.

Her research on water and air vortices led to the innovative ‘Ayrton anti-gas fan’ that protected soldiers in WWI, and she founded an all-women’s fire brigade at Girton College! 🚒

Hertha was also a passionate advocate for women's suffrage, opening her home to support activists who needed care.

This Saturday (12 September), join us to celebrate 120 years since Ayrton’s Hughes Medal with family-friendly talks, an illustrated lecture by Dr Patricia Fara, Emeritus Fellow at Clare College, and uplifting music from The Cambridge First All-Ladies Fire Brigade at the Whipple Museum of the History of Science.

Don’t miss Patricia chatting with Thordis Fridriksson on BBC Cambridgeshire - catch the interview at 3h 27m, https://bbc.in/4gSbKBg
