A Mark 2 Colossus computer. The ten Colossi were the world's first (semi-) programmable electronic computers, the first having been built in 1943. Unknown author - This file is from the collections of The National Archives (United Kingdom), catalogued under document record FO850/234. A Colossus Mark 2 codebreaking computer being operated by Dorothy Du Boisson (left) and Elsie Booker (right), 1943 The image shows a Mark 2 Colossus computer, one of the ten machines built during World War II for British codebreaking efforts. Two women, Dorothy Du Boisson (left) and Elsie Booker (right), operate the large electronic computer, which occupies an entire room. The machine is composed of panels filled with switches, dials, cables, and vacuum tubes, representing the first (semi-) programmable electronic computers in history, built in 1943 to help decipher encrypted German communications at Bletchley Park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bletchley_Park#/media/File:Colossus.jpg

Marie Curie - Mobile Military Hospital X-Ray-Unit, c. 1915. Marie Curie is seated in a vehicle that serves as a mobile X-ray unit (radiological car) during WWI. The mobile unit resembles a large motor truck or van converted to carry X-ray equipment. It has an enclosed rear section, likely to shelter equipment and provide some workspace. The front cabin is open; Curie is seated behind the wheel, suggesting she may have been driving or positioned there for the photo. She wears a dark coat or wrap and sits formally in the driver's position. Her attire is practical rather than ornate. She has a serious but composed expression. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Curie#/media/File:Marie_Curie_-_Mobile_X-Ray-Unit.jpg

Linocut of Ursula Franklin working in the lab in blue in a circle in the centre. Surrounding this area is a golden olive colour, on which are carved several gears at the top, a tooth at the bottom left which is labelled Sr-90 with radiating arrows labelled e- to indicate how radioactive strontium-90 can absorbed into bone can undergo radioactive decay emitting electrons, and in the bottom right corner is an ancient Chinese vessel she dated. The blue circle is actually a peace symbol and below it is a cross carved into the golden olive area, making it the symbol for women.
