SCIENTIFIC AND INVENTIVE SUPERSTARS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
They did it, So can you!
Josephine Cochran: Dishwasher — In 1886, proclaimed in disgust, "If nobody else is going to invent a dishwashing machine, I'll do it myself," And she did, Cochran unveiled the first dishwasher at the 1893 World's Fair.
ELIZABETH BLACKWELL (1821-1910) Physician. After she became the first woman doctor in the United States, no hospital would admit her. She then brought her own house and established a small dispensary which expanded to become the New York Infirmary for Women and Children.
IRENE JOLIOT-CURIE (1897-1956) Physicist. She was awarded the Nobel Chemistry Prize for discovering a technique for making artificial radioactive elements.
LUCY HOBBS (1833-1910) Dentist. The first woman to earn a dental degree in the United States, she developed one of the most extensive practices in Kansas.
DOROTHY CROWFOOT HODGKIN (1910-1994) Crystallographer. She was awarded the Nobel Chemistry Prize in 1964 for determining the crystal structure of biomedical compounds, particularly penicillin.
GERTY CORI (1896-1957) Biochemist, Physician. The first woman to receive the Nobel prize for Medicine/Physiology, she carried out research into carbohydrate metabolism, the method by which the body uses its fuel supply of starches and sugars, and the relation of this mechanism to certain hormone secretions.
Mary Phelps Jacob — The first modern brassiere to receive a patent was invented in 1913.
MARIE CURIE (1867-1934) Chemist. The first person ever to receive two Nobel awards, Physics in 1903, and Chemistry in 1911, she won the prizes for her discovery of radium and her researches into radioactivity.
MARGARET SANGER (1883-1966) Public Health Nurse. A pioneer in birth control, she fought for the right of women to have access to birth control and was one of the founders of Planned Parenthood.
Women inventors have set the standard for all of us to achieve. By offering this list my hope is that you are inspired to reach your highest potential. If you have an idea, go for it! You may find like they did that you can do it.
