ASCE Recognizes Stanton Blatch Barney; Pioneering Civil Engineer, Suffragist

After 99 years, ASCE has righted a wrong committed against pioneering civil engineer and suffragist Nora Stanton Blatch Barney.

Stanton Blatch Barney was among the first women in the United States to earn a civil engineering degree, graduating from Cornell University in 1905. She was also the first woman to earn Junior Member status in ASCE.
