EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1920s, we see Mrs Ayrton Gould, daughter of the late Professor Ayrton, engagingly discussing the intricate scientific processes behind searchlights. The scene takes place at the Law Courts in front of a captivated audience comprising members of the Royal Commission of Awards to investors. Mrs Gould's father was renowned for his invention of an exceptional burning carbon, and she courageously challenged experts who disputed his claim. Her eloquence and clarity left a lasting impression on Mr Justice Tomlin, who commended her by saying, "You are explaining it very nicely and very clearly to me". This compliment is testament to her profound knowledge and ability to convey complex scientific concepts with ease. The photograph captures Mrs Gould as a young woman standing near railings outside the Law Courts. Her poised demeanor exudes confidence as she fearlessly defends her father's legacy against a host of skeptics. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this historical moment, transporting us back in time to witness this remarkable display of intellect and determination. This image serves as a powerful reminder that women have long played significant roles in advancing scientific knowledge despite facing numerous obstacles along their journey. It stands as a tribute not only to Mrs Ayrton Gould but also to all those trailblazing women who have defied societal expectations throughout history.
