Female Inventors

Because female inventors are under-recognized for their accomplishments, we are featuring biographical sketches of these famous women including what they invented, how they conceived the idea and what developments have taken place since the original invention. This section is currently under development. It will soon feature many more inventors, so visit often.

Please help us further develop this section by e-mailing information you have about female inventors and/or inventions to our director of educational services at RMason6903@aol.com. If you are interested in helping us develop a section on inventors from your ethnic culture please e-mail your information to RMason6903@aol.com. Remember to give the source(s) of your information so we can properly acknowledge the originator of any information posted on our site.
