There is no demand for women engineers, as such, as there are for women doctors; but there is always a demand for anyone who can do a good piece of work.
Edith Clarke was the first woman to enroll and obtain her MSc. degree in Electrical Engineering at MIT in 1918. She worked with AT&T and GE, and filed for a patent for a "graphical calculator" in 1921. It was to be used to solve electric power transmission problems. Later in life, she worked as the first woman to teach engineering at the University of Texas.
