Here
is a review of famous Women Inventors:
In 1809, Mary Dixon Kies received the
first U. S. patent issued to a woman. Kies, a Connecticut native, invented a
process for weaving straw with silk or thread. First Lady Dolley Madison praised
her for boosting the nation’s hat industry. Unfortunately, the patent file was
destroyed in the great Patent Office fire in 1836. Until about 1840, only 20
other patents were issued to women. The inventions related to apparel, tools,
cook stoves, and fire places. In the history of remarkable inventions there are
many notable women too.
A few of the major woman inventors in he recent
past are:
In 1845, Sarah Mather received a patent for the invention of a
submarine telescope and lamp. This was a remarkable device that permitted
sea-going vessels to survey the depths of the ocean.
Randice-Lisa
Altschul: In November of 1999 Randice-Lisa Altschul was issued a series of
patents for the world's first disposable cell phone. The device is the thickness
of three credit cards and made from recycled paper products. This is a real cell
phone with 60 minutes of calling time and a hands free
attachment.
Another woman inventor Martha J. Coston in 1871 perfected
then patented her deceased husband’s idea for a pyrotechnic flare. Coston’s
husband, a former naval scientist, died leaving behind only a rough sketch in a
diary of plans for the flares. Martha developed the idea into an elaborate
system of flares called Night Signals that allowed ships to communicate messages
nocturnally.
