Mostly Trivial 197 Women Inventors [trivia]

Women Inventors

A Class Act !

Historians have given us a picture of women inventors in the 19th century as a group that faced and often overcame significant hurdles to achieve their goals. Their one common bond is an innate curiosity that spurs them on to find something new, something better. Today, only about 10% of all patents are awarded to women.

Much of the history of contemporary women inventors remains to be written, hopefully, as we learn more about these creative women, their stories will inspire future generations of Women Inventors.

All before the 1900's these women invented...

Life raft: Maria Beaseley 1882

Fire escape: Anna Connelly 1887

Rolling pin: Catherine Deiner 1891

Ironing board: Sarah Boone 1892

Car heater: Margaret Wilcox 1893

Suspenders: Laura Cooney 1896

Medical syringe: Letitia Geer 1899
