    Conference paper
    'Is ‘Personal Agency’ Enough to Make the Break Through? A Case Study of a Successful Pioneering Woman in Engineering’
    Stream:
    Working Women’s Progression and Experiences in Context


    The paper revises the concepts of identity and power through a historical account of the entrepreneurial agency of a pioneering woman in the engineering field, Dorothee Pullinger. Her leadership role, management expertise and professionalism are examined, in the contextual conditions of occupational practice, and the potential for agency to be transformative for an Ewardian woman to become a pioneering engineer, entrepreneur and personnel management expert.
