Women’s resourcefulness and entrepreneurial spirit cannot be doubted. For ages, women have contributed to the welfare of society and they have played a significant role in the world of invention. Through history, there have been many women inventors and their creations still have a significant impact in our everyday life as they have come up with home appliances we use daily or have developed life-saving inventions. In Idea Design Studio, an invention development and marketing company, we are convinced that inventing groundbreaking technologies or devices is not something that only men inventors can do. Women inventors have proven to be as detailed and hard working in their creation as their male counterparts. If you are reading this article and have something new to offer to the world, we invite you to call us at 888-864-1870. Some women inventors have become really famous while others have not made it to the inventors’ hall of fame. Let’s just explore some of the most relevant contributions that women inventors have made to society. Some women inventors have found inspiration in their everyday lives, trying to improve it or to satisfy common woes that affected many people. The Mechanical Dishwasher Every time you turn on your dishwasher and forget about doing the dishes after dinner, thank a woman. In fact, you should thank Josephine Garis Cochran, who developed the first mechanical dishwasher in 1886. She is one of the many women inventors who was inspired by her daily routine to come up with something new and revolutionary. Josephine Garis Cochran loved offering dinner parties but then complaint about how many of her dishes got chipped by her servants as they washed them. Tired of her chipped dishes she developed a machine to wash them mechanically. Soon, her friends ordered new machines for them as well and she got orders from restaurants and hotels. Miss Garis Cochran received the highest award during the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Marie Curie: One Of The First Women Inventors The famous Polish scientist Marie Curie is probably amongst the most renowned women inventors. She is mainly known for having discovered Polonium and Radium, two important chemical elements, and for having also discovered that tumors could be kill with x-rays. Women should be proud of inventors such as Marie Curie as she was the first person to receive the Nobel Prize twice. Her discovery of Radium and how to process it meant a significant advancement for medical applications. Margaret Knight: The Mother Of The Grocery Bag Margaret Knight is one of those women inventors whose wit has had an impact in our society that we can still appreciate every time we go grocery shopping. In fact, she invented the square paper bag we are so acquainted with. Margaret was an employee in a factory that produced paper bags. But at that time the bags seemed large envelopes and they were not totally practical. By 1870, she thought of a way of making the machine to automatically fold the paper and glue it to create a square. Inventors, whether they are men or women, should be our source of inspiration. Their tenacity should encourage us all to fight for our dreams and make our best effort to achieve them. We should definitely be proud of them, especially of female inventors, because of their tenacity to come up with something new.
