Edith Clarke: Architect of Modern Power Distribution

Cars That Think

From the start of her career at General Electric in 1922, she was determined to develop stable, more reliable power grids. And Clarke succeeded, playing a critical role in the rapid expansion of the North American electric grid during the 1920s and ’30s. The electricity it produced was stored in massive GE generators.
