Female inventors

Just sharing this in case anyone is interested.

I only knew about Stephanie Kwolek, the inventor of Kevlar, on this list. And even then I only learnt about her recently and I did A Level chemistry (where we touched on Kevlar as part of a topic) at an all girls school FFS!

Thanks for posting that Twelvety. It's a shame there isn't more awareness of this, as well as all the women who've excelled and done such pioneering work in some of the fields those inventors worked in. I saw this similar article a little while ago, some overlap but perhaps also worth posting here: m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_56d51097e4b0bf0dab3349e0
