The commemorative plaque will honour herlegacy, celebrate her Paisley connection and mark her considerable achievements in engineering and entrepreneurship.
Helping to choose the design of the memorial plaque were relatives of Dorothée who had travelled from their home in Guernsey to UWS’ Paisley campus, a mile away from where she trained as an apprentice in 1909.
Dorothee’s daughter Yv e t t e L e Couv e y , granddaughter Miya Le Couvey, and her husband James McDonald met the team of academics at UWS involved in the research into Dorothée’s legacy.
Academics Professor Katarzyna Kosmala, Tony Grace and Dr Evi Viza discussed the project led by Professor Kosmala of the uni’s School of Media, Culture and Society in collaboration with the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Science.
Prof Kosmala cited linking with the research:
“In 1914, despite her obvious talents as an engineer, the Institution of Automobile Engineers refused to admit Dorothée in their articles of association,”
“However, things were starting to shift with female engineers setting up the Women’s Engineering Society ( WES), exactly one hundred years ago to encourage more women to pursue a career in engineering.
“I am delighted we will be unveiling a plaque to commemorate Dorothée’s legacy and her achievements on our campus to tie in with the centenary celebrations of WES.”Producer/Author KENNETH SPEIRS URL https://www.pressreader.com/uk/paisley-daily-express/20190626/281612421937289 Persons Katarzyna Kosmala, Evdoxia Viza, Tony Grace Title The remarkable story behind pioneering Degree of recognition National Media name/outlet The Herald Media type Print Duration/Length/Size Main feature pp 14-19 Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 15/06/19 Description Dr Nina Baker, engineering historian int he project team shares her research on the story of Dorothee Pullinger who smashed the glass ceiling in the automobile industry and her trailblazing work a century ago linking with a new display at the Riverside Museum in Glasgow.
