EducationUniversity of Edinburgh

Elizabeth Jane Smith (3 October 1889-?) was the first woman to study engineering at a Scottish University. She studied at the University of Edinburgh and although she did not graduate she went on to found and run the British Resorcin Manufacturing Co., Ltd in London.[1]

Education

She was born near Edinburgh and went first to Currie Primary, and then on to James Gillespie's High School for 4 years. At the age of 12 she went on to the Broughton Junior Student Centre, from where she entered the University of Edinburgh in 1909.[1] She enrolled at first in an Arts degree and then switched to study for a Pure Science degree. Although she passed most of her courses, she left in 1913 without graduating.[2]

Work

In 1917 she founded and was Director of the British Resorcin Manufacturing Co Ltd, located at 162 Villiers Road, Willesden Green, London.[1] Although the company was only operational for a few years (closing in 1922),[3] they were listed as an exhibitor at the British Scientific Products Exhibition in August 1918, held at King's College London, and organised by the British Science Guild.[4]
