What is recorded here
Edith Anne Stoney was born at 40 Wellington Road in Ballsbridge in 1869, the daughter of George Johnstone Stoney, who named the electron. She grew up inside a house full of bridges, ports, mathematics and men who measured the world before others could imagine it. Her mind moved like water through stone, shaping physics into a language women could finally speak.
