Best Things Invented by Women

WHO INVENTED IT!

The American inventors Oliver Evans, Jacob Perkins, and John Gorrie (males, all) are credited with developing the earliest versions of the modern refrigerator in the early 1800s. Later that century, the work of German engineer Carl von Linden allowed chemical refrigerant to be stored efficiently, paving the way for mass production of refrigerators.

Florence (Parpart) Layman invented a ‘refrigerator attachment’ (patent 1090925) that improved a refrigerator’s cooling efficiency. She did not invent the refrigerator. She (along with her husband) invented and patented a rather common-sense improvement – where the melted, yet still cool, water is circulated through the fridge before it is drained. She also held patents and patent rights to other inventions/improvements.

Albert Enstein also invented a type of refrigerator although it never went into production

First artificial refrigeration - William Cullen First refrigerator constructed - Oliver Evans

not true. Invented by a man. I just looked it up.

when biult

True and False. The first dishwasher was invented in 1850 by Joel Houghton but Josephine Cochrane is credited with developing the first dishwasher with a motor.

True. The first modern brassiere to receive a patent was the one invented in 1913 by a New York socialite named Mary Phelps Jacob. Mary Phelps Jacob had just purchased a sheer evening gown for one of her social events. At that time, the only acceptable undergarment was a corset stiffened with whaleback bones. Mary found that the whalebones poked out visible around the plunging neckline and under the sheer fabric. Two silk handkerchiefs and some pink ribbon later, Mary had designed an alternative to the corset.

no it was a women

a man actually created this its a little weird..... o.O

"Bullet Proof Vests" were almost prefected with the invention of kevlar, but bullet proof vests of all sorts have been in use since the late 1600's. No actual "Inventor" can be credibly named, Male OR Female.

Stephanie Kwolek, along with other researchers at DuPont, invented and patented an improved process for making ‘Kevlar’ (patent 3063966) in 1962. Kevlar was the first material that made ‘bullet proof vests’ actually bullet proof in more than just name. Stephanie Kwolek’s can be said to have invented the bullet proof vest in general terms as her invention was the main breakthrough that allowed Kevlar to be mass produced economically. Before she came along, anything that would stop a bullet in ‘actual combat’ (not just lab tests) could not be comfortably worn by soldiers and/or was too expensive for practical use.

Not True, invented by a male clergyman after the assasination of a mayor. The man's name was Fr. Casimir Zeglen.

TRUE. In 1951, Bette Nesmith Graham invented the first correction fluid in her kitchen. Working as a typist, she used to make many mistakes and always strived for a way to correct them. Starting on a basis of tempera paint she mixed with a common kitchen blender, she called the outcome fluid Mistake Out and started to provide her co-workers with small green bottles on which the brand's name was displayed. By 1956, Graham founded the Mistake Out Company and continued working from her kitchen nights and weekends to produce small batches of correction bottles. She was fired from her typist job after she made a mistake that she did not manage to correct. She had typed in her company name instead of the bank's. After this stroke of bad luck, she decided to devote her time to her new company.[1] The inventor offered the product to IBM, which declined the offer. She sold the product from her house for 17 years; the name was changed to Liquid Paper shortly after. By 1968, the product was profitable, and in 1979 the Liquid Paper Corporation was sold to the Gillette Corporation for $47.5 million with royalties. In 2000, Liquid Paper was acquired by Newell Rubbermaid. In some regions of the world, Liquid Paper is now endorsed by Papermate, a widely known writing instruments brand (also owned by Newell Rubbermaid). Graham's son Mike Nesmith, guitarist/singer in the popular 1960s pop band The Monkees, was the primary heir to her fortune upon Graham's death in 1980.

no!!!!!! it was a lady

Mike nesmith of "Monkeys' fame's mother invented this, also had something to do with MTV

FALSE. The Firts Cooking stove was invented by Benjamin Franklin who called it his "Iron Cooking Stove", In 1742

FALSE. The Firs Cooking stove was invented by Benjamin Franklin who called it his "Iron Cooking Stove", In 1742

The inventor, Mary Anderson is credited with devising the first operational windshield wiper in 1903. In Anderson's patent, she called her invention a "window cleaning device" for electric cars and other vehicles. Operated via a lever from inside a vehicle, her version of windshield wipers closely resembles the windshield wiper found on many early car models. Anderson had a model of her design manufactured, then filed a patent (US 743,801) on June 18, 1903 that was issued to her by the US Patent Office on November 10, 1903.

true it was mary anderson

no windshield wipers were invented by Mary Anderson... not a man. Look it up.

this is NOT true. It is a fact that a man invented winsheild wipers... not sure where you are getting these facts from

TRUE. In November of 1999 Randice-Lisa "Randi" Altschul was issued a series of patent for the world's first dispose of cell phone. Trademarked the Phone-Card-Phone®, the device is the thickness of three credit cards and made from second hand paper products. This is a real cell phone (outgoing messages only) with 60 minutes of calling time and a hands free accessory.

who invented

TRUE. Patented in 1880 by Maria Beasley.

joseph winters was the first designer.

the inventor has been unknown or unjustifiable since the time when people started to wonder who the creator was.

Forms of intravenous injection and infusion began as early as 1670. However, Charles Gabriel Pravaz and Alexander Wood were the first to develop a syringe with a needle fine enough to pierce the skin in 1853. Sorry Ladies

This is an obvious lie.
