Inventors Who Transformed Everyday Life
A Brief History:
To answer that question, let's take a quick trip through history. All of these inventions were created by women. That's right, each and every one of these important innovations was the brainchild of a brilliant female inventor.
Kevlar:
In 1965, Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar, a strong and lightweight material that is five times stronger than steel. Kevlar is used in a variety of applications, but it is most commonly known for its use in bullet proof vests.
Fire Escapes:
The first fire escape was invented by Anna Connelly in 1887. Connelly was a real estate developer who wanted to make her buildings safer for tenants. Her invention allowed people to escape from burning buildings quickly and easily.
Windshield Wipers:
In 1903, Mary Anderson invented the first windshield wiper. Anderson was visiting New York City during a snowstorm when she noticed that streetcar drivers had to keep their windows open to see where they were going. She came up with the idea of a wiper blade that could be operated by the driver from inside the vehicle.
Laser Printers:
Finally, we have the laser printer. In 1977, Adele Goldberg and a team of researchers at Xerox PARC invented the first laser printer. This revolutionary technology made it possible to print high quality documents quickly and efficiently.
These amazing women are just a few examples of the many female inventors who have shaped our world and made it a better place. Your Thoughts Readers...
