Evelyn Roxburgh

Mary Evelyn Roxburgh (10 October 1896 – 24 April 1973) is believed to have been the first woman electrical engineer in Scotland and government factory inspector in England.

[4] Later, she left Metro-Vicks for British Thomson-Houston, known primarily for its electrical systems and steam turbines, and located in the Midlands region.

[3] In 1928, Roxburgh was appointed to a government agency to become HM Inspector of Factories, responsible for health and safety inspections.

There, "one eminent consultant radiologist was known to remark that he had rarely seen radiographs of a greater diagnostic value then those taken by Miss Roxburgh."

[2] In 1950, her father died, leaving both sisters well off financially and enabling them to retire together to the village of Long Wittenham in Oxfordshire near the River Thames.
