Discover the stories behind 15 of the twentieth century's key
inventions in this fun and informative treasury of trailblazing
women, who each made a unique contribution to the history of
science and technology. Car heaters... Monopoly... Disposable
diapers... The dishwasher... Kevlar... Maritime flares...
Anti-reflective glass... Wifi... Syringes... Submarine
periscopes... Diagnostic tests... Lifeboats... Windshield wipers...
Ebooks... What do each of these revolutionary inventions have in
common? They were all pioneered by women! Each brilliant idea is
presented with biographical information about the brilliant woman
who came up with it, including what inspired them. Learn how Martha
Coston disguised herself as a man to contact pyrotechnicians and
convince them to manufacture her idea for maritime flares, how a
New York tram ride on a wet winter's day led Mary Anderson to
invent the windshield wiper and why Letitia Mumford Geer's one-hand
operated syringe was a medical breakthrough, among other
fascinating facts. Full-page illustrations show the inspiration for
and use of these incredible inventions in humorous detail. From
lifeboat-inventor, Maria Beasley, to the grandmother of the ebook,
Angela Ruiz Robles, each of the inspiring women in this book
achieved their goal of leaving the world a better place than they
found it.
