The story of Beatrice Shilling's fix of a problem that almost lost the Battle of Britain is really impressive - it's a hack in the good sense, a fast, patch to a broken design that makes it mostly work. But what stuck with me is the dismissive, degrading nickname the male engineers at Rolls Royce used for the fix that Shilling invented. How many brilliant women have been driven out of engineering by jeering of boorish men?
