The Women in Engineering project celebrates women’s stories and brings their voices to the fore through oral history interviews. Interviews were held between April – June 2023 and the written history published October 2024.

The project was developed and undertaken by Cindy Jemmett, Heritage Advisor at Engineering New Zealand Te Ao Rangahau with support from the wider Te Ao Rangahau team and the Engineering Heritage Board.
