“If a girl comes along who really wants to be an engineer tell her to go to it.”
– Lydia Weld, Class of 1904.
The wisdom and determination of MIT’s women were showcased in an exhibit that revealed the history of women establishing themselves as students, faculty, administrators and staff at MIT. From the first women’s labs and dorms, to finding community and parity in the ranks, their stories were told through original letters, publications, photos and records from the Institute Archives.
