Equal Opportunities

Just a quick note on a story that caught my eye:
Professor Helen Atkinson has become the first woman to be made president of the Engineering Professors Council, since it was set up 50 years ago. It seems hopefully that Professor Atkinson will encourage more young women to go into the field of engineering, and will champion the need for more flexible working hours and a woman-mother-child accepting policy.
I don't know much about engineering, but I do know that the first woman president in an organisation's 50-year history is cause for celebration! A woman-success story always brightens my afternoon!
