Women Inventors Eight Amazing Inventions Contributed by Women

If asked to name famous inventors.. many will start with the names of Thomas Edison, Marconi, Graham Bell. And what about Mary Anderson and Tsukamoto?

You may not know their names. But, those two women inventors are behind every thing and technology that we use every day.

On this occasion, let's know about 8 amazing inventions that women have given to the world

1. Computer Software - Grace Hopper

Grace Hopper, who joined the US Navy during the Second World War, played a key role in designing the new computer Mark 1 there. A

Compiler software tools were developed to translate programming code into computer language.

Grace Hopper also popularized the term de-bugging in software applications. She worked for the development of computer till she was 79 years old.

2. Caller ID, Call Waiting - Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson

She has developed features such as Caller ID which tells us who the phone call is coming from and Call Waiting which lets us know if another call comes while we are talking to one person.

A scientist in physics Dr. Shirley.. has done many researches in the field of telecom.

Her research was the key behind the development of fiber optic cable, fax machines and solar batteries.

He was the first African-American to receive a doctorate from the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US.

3. Vehicle Glass Wiper - Mary Anderson

In 1903, Mary Anderson was visiting New York. Snow is falling on the windows of his car as it is winter.

To remove the snow, the driver stops the car and is going out. The people in the car are also shivering with cold.

Mary Anderson thought of a solution to that problem and made a glass wiper with rubber.

She got patent rights on it in 1903

4. Space Station Batteries- Olga de Gonzalez Sanabria

In the 1980s, Olga developed the technology of nickel-hydrogen batteries that give the highest backup.

These batteries are used in space stations.

Olga is currently working as the Director of Engineering Division at NASA Research Center

.5. Dishwasher- Josephine Kochran

In his home, he made a dish washing machine that washes cooking utensils faster, safer, and cleaner than a worker. It is the first automatic dishwasher in the world.

She got patent rights for this invention in 1886.

7. Differentiating Stem Cells- Ann Tsukamoto

Discovered a way to differentiate into stem cells that are crucial in the production of blood cells. He got a patent for it in 1991.

With this approach, the treatment of blood cancer has become easier. Currently she is doing research on stem cell growth

8. Kevlar (Bullet Proof Fiber) – Stephanie Kolek

A fiber used in the manufacture of bullet proof clothing was created in 1965. Lakhs of soldiers and police are using jackets made of that material, which is five times stronger than steel.
