OriginalLi Fu Lee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's radio experiment station in 1925
Reason
Part of my Women in Red work (and my first nomination this year, wow.). Li Fu Lee was a bit of a sensation back in the 1920s for being a Chinese woman who came to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with her husband and then decided to get her degree in Electrical Engineering. There's a newspaper article that uses this image, so it's kind of a key image of her.
Do note that I need new glasses, so - although I went over some of the key parts six times - if you spot anything I missed, let me know. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.2% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 21:59, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
