 in data about power networks. The U.S. Department of Energy calls her effo
 rts “the first step toward smart grid technology. She could be called th
 e Smart Grid’s ‘Founding Mother.’”. She wrote the textbook used by
  power engineers for decades titled Circuit Analysis of A-C Power Systems.
 \n\nClarke&#39;s legacy includes being the first woman to be professionally em
 ployed as an electrical engineer in the United States and the first female
