High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Women`s Engineering Society (WES) was founded in 1919 by women who worked as engineers during the first world war, found they enjoyed it, were good at it and didn`t want to stop. WES was one of the very first organisations to champion women`s right to non-traditional careers. The members have advised the UK government on evolving employment practices for women. Constituted as a professional society with membership grades the Society has always welcomed those who are committed to its aims and objectives of promoting the study and practice of engineering and allied sciences among women. Members are drawn from women who have entered the profession through an apprenticeship route as well as a degree. The participation of men in the society`s activities is welcomed. The society celebrated its 90th year in 2009. The Society`s journal The Woman Engineer has its own Editorial Board that has evolved the journal to reflect the changes in society at large. In the early days it contained technical articles as women could not join the engineering Institutions and now contains articles which give engineers a broad view of work in all the different engineering disciplines and celebrates the achievements of women.
