The Women’s League holds its annual meeting in May, at which time a summary of the activities and business over the past academic year is given, returning Board Officers are introduced, and new officers for the election slate are presented.

This year, the MIT Women’s League is pleased to announce Debbie Douglas, Director of Collections and Curator of Science and Technology at the MIT Museum, as our speaker for this event. Debbie oversees the MIT Museum’s extensive science and technology collections. Prior to joining the museum’s staff in 1999, she worked as an independent scholar specializing in the history of technology and science. From 1994 through 1999 she served as the Visiting Historian for the NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia and as adjunct assistant professor of History at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA. Her subjects include the history of technology, gender and technology, and U.S. history. Douglas is the author of American Women and Flight since 1940. She received her A.B. in history from Wellesley College and holds A.M. and Ph.D. degrees in the History and Sociology of Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Her exhibit, Hub of the Air Universe: A Century of Flight in Massachusetts, opened at the MIT Museum in November 2003.

Before Debbie’s talk, enjoy a delicious lunch in the company of women with various affiliations in the MIT community. To reserve your place at the annual meeting, contact the League office. The cost of the luncheon is $15.00. Seating is limited.
