Peggy Hodges was a highly acclaimed British engineer who was awarded an OBE for her services to engineering at a time when this was even rarer than it is today for a woman. Peggy was a member of Soroptimist International the global women\u2019s organisation and she\u00a0left a legacy\u00a0to her Club, St Albans and District. One of the Soroptimist goals is to \u201cimprove the lives and status of women and girls through education, empowerment or enabling opportunities\u201d. We created this award for these reasons and in honour of Peggy\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
