Greatest Female Inventors You Need To Know

To me, progress does not always mean making successive improvements, but instead it means finding the best means of improvement. Based on my definition, I believe that the United States has made continual progress. Although there are times where we do not make giant leaps and bounds, we have always been in pursuit of finding the best route to take in order to solve a problem.

One of the earliest women to invent something was Bette Nesmith Graham. She was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1924. When she was a little girl she loved to be around paints. When she got older she wanted to be an artist's. Her dream got shut down when World War Two started. She dropped out of school at seventeen and married her high school sweetheart. Warren Nesmith her husband soon got drafted for the war only two months after they got married. She found out

The most important and influential invention in history is the light bulb. The light bulb was created by Thomas Edison in 1879. It is used in many different ways today. It is used to help us see during the day and when it is dark out. We use the lightbulb at home, work, school, stores, and even at gyms. Even though Edison was not the one who came up with the idea of the lightbulb, he is credited with making the first successful one. There were twenty-three other people before him who have tried numerously and failed. It took Edison a year to create the light bulb. In that year, he experimented with over 1,400 fibers until he tried cotton fiber. Cotton fiber allowed a light bulb to last 1,500 hours compared to forty hours.

This is Thomas Edison. Thomas Edison is a famous inventor who invented lots of things that we use today. He was born a very long time ago in the United States of America.

Thomas Alva Edison, an American inventor. He is the most famous of all Americans to make a career of inventing; Edison was called the “Wizard of Menlo Park,” which was his laboratory for sometime, found in New Jersey. He was especially important for his electrical inventions. Like many inventors of his era, Edison struggled to perfect a system of electrical home lighting. He experimented with arc lighting in 1875, but became convinced that successful home lighting would have to be incandescent; that is, use a material that would glow when an electric current passed through it, but not burn in the process. (The History of the Light Bulb & Thomas A. Edison Papers) He studied earlier experiments and in 1878 announced that he had the technical problems solved and would create a practical incandescent lamp within six months. The invention of the light bulb changed the world in many ways, including facilitating the creation of large power grids, changing the social and economic structure of society and bringing other appliances into our homes. (Thomas A. Edison Papers) Although many inventors had experimented with incandescent light bulbs, Thomas Edison created the first widely distributed model in 1879. (The History of the Light Bulb)

Women have always been at the forefronts of science, even though they have not always taken the credit for it. One of the defining marks of humanity is our ability to affect and predict our environment. Science - the creation of structure for our world - technology - the use of structure in our world - and mathematics - the common

What does the microwave, Penicillin, and the atomic bomb have in common? All these things and more came out of the invention period of World War Two. There were many advancements and inventions to come from World War Two, many of which are used in warfare today. Some are even used in common citizen life all over the world, whether it be the equipment, weaponry, or even medications. Many of the technological advancements of World War Two revolutionized our world as we know it today.

Sound,it's all around us and we take it for granted without knowing its origin. Sound cartoon was invented by the grandfather of cartoons, Walt Disney. Walt Disney's first sound cartoon was called Steamboat Willie. People in theaters were very impressed about this and people even bought tickets a second time to watch it. In my opinion Sound cartoon is the most important invention in America due to its history and how people reacted when they first saw it. A long time ago before sound cartoon, people would watch a scene and after that scene they would display worlds which would describe what they were saying. That would be a terrible time to be living. These are the good days where sound surrounds us in every way possible.

With no intention of discarding the importance of religion in how our world has progressed, I would argue that religion has been holding us back from our full potential in terms of science and technological innovation and practice of free will.

Sam Magg's Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History features an array of pioneering female scientists, engineers, mathematicians, adventurers, and inventors many of whom I was unaware of like Dr. Okami Keiko (the first Japanese woman to obtain a degree in Western medicine from a Western university) and Dr. Anandibai Joshi (the first woman physician) who were actually well acquainted with each other.

Wars are obviously almost always associated with destruction, especially World War II. How can they not be? They tear up families, destroy lives, and obliterate trust. It certainly changed America forever, but how? The answer does not always have to be negative, “it helped explain America’s production miracle” (Rick Hampson).

In 1910 the first electric refrigerators and air conditioning units were now in homes. Also in 1910 many suburban homes were wired with new electrical gadgets. This included vacuum cleaners and washing machines. In 1919 the first pop up toaster was invented. It was thought to be the greatest invention of the modern age at the time

It is a good idea to book. A brief profile of the 52 women who made great contributions go undetected for science and technology. We tend to think that women only started to make progress after the women's movement got rolling in the 1900s. But here, the author Rachel Swabey reach back into history to find women who are studying nature or drugs or who are already working in the field of science of 1800 and beyond.

The beginning of the 20th century was marked by the increase in American inventors and entrepreneurs of vehicles looking to have their products dominate the world. Famous manufacturers of this era include Henry Ford (founder of Ford Motor Company), William Boeing (founder of The Boeing Company), William C. Durant (founder of General Motors), and George M. Hendee (founder of Indian Motorcycle Manufacturing), just to name a few. The designs produced under the aforementioned manufacturers/inventors would prove to be true innovations, paving the way for technology for decades to come and providing the basic designs on which modern vehicles are built on. The same can be said about William S. Harley, the co-founder and first chief engineer of

Historians believe that one of the greatest pioneers in the birth of automation, American inventor, pioneer, mechanical engineer, and manufacturer is Eli Whitney. He was the inventor of the cotton gin that made the South become the cotton producing part of the country because Whitney's cotton gin was able to successfully pull out the seeds from the cotton bolls.“I have now taken a serious task upon myself and I fear a greater one that is in the power of any man to perform in the given time-but it is too late to go back.” Above, quote signifies and illustrates what he felt at the time when making the invention. He know that it is a serious task that he has to complete but he feels as if it can be critical for him, nevertheless this invention
