GEAR PIONEER

摘要

In honor of Women's History Month, CTE remembers groundbreaker Catherine "Kate" Anselm Gleason (1865-1933). During the restrictive culture of her time, she helped shape the global cutting tools industry as a sales engineer for her family's gear cutting machinery business. In doing so, Gleason prompted admiration for her warm, personal approach and flamboyant style, as well as the opprobrium of certain members of her family.
