Patricia L.
Brown (born October 1, 1928) was the first female chemical engineer to graduate from Southwestern Louisiana Institute.
She was one out of a total of two female chemical engineers at Stephan Company in 1993. Brown served as the president and a lifelong active member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) from 1961 to 1963.
She co-founded the Detroit section of SWE in 1952.
She was one of the first members, a Charter Member, of the South Ohio SWE section.
When she arrived in Dallas, there was no regional section of SWE, so she kept in touch at the national level.
She was a key Member in helping keep SWE afloat in the late 1950s, when money was scarce and membership was low. While Brown was president of SWE, she worked with Lillian Moller Gilbreth to help advance SWE's goals to encourage women engineers to succeed.
As president, because of a minor miscommunication, Brown presented an honorary award to Marlene Schmidt, a German engineer who was also Miss Universe at the time.
She attempted to persuade Grace Hopper to help SWE's cause as well, but Hopper did not believe in a separate society for women.
