What's Happening?
Top inventions that were made by women changed the world, let's praise them!
1. Medical syringe
to be honest, I never knew that who did the syringe and always had no information about women doing any inventions I don't know why but this invention was done by Letitia Geer and was done in 1899, as they did the syringe that required two hands to do the injections correctly without resulting any harm, so basically, she invented the syringe that required only one hand that all medical practices use it now!
"Her syringe design includes a cylinder, piston rod, a handle, and nozzle. The piston rod had a U-shaped handle for easier grip. The handle was designed in a way to be reached even in extreme positions. The hook at the free end of the syringe prevented hands from slipping."
As her syringe had a lot of benefits because it was cheap and can easily be used and done by only using one hand, as it's easy to use by any person, she died at the age of 83 in 1935.
2. Fire escape
Anna Connelly made a fire escape staircase in 1887, she invented a metal staircase that prevented people to die due to fire problems that happen in buildings and houses, she saved lives by creating this fire escape, the model that she did became the modern buildings in cities especially new york city and now it's very required that buildings should have it for any kind of emergencies happening.
3. Home Security System
it was made by Marie Brown as she made it in her home, a system for closed-circuit television security she invented it in 1969 which there were problems in this time because of lack of security, so she basically did this system to help people and prevent them from getting attacked and feeling secured, because at that time police were slow in responding 911 calls from people, it was made in new york city. She quoted this "A woman alone could set off an alarm immediately by pressing a button, or if the system were installed in a doctor's office, it might prevent holdups by drug addicts."
4. Aquarium
Jeanne Villepreux-Power is one of the biggest biologists at that time, she invented an aquarium in 1832, she was born in France, a daughter of a shoemaker who moved to Paris at the age of 18 to be an assistant to a dressmaker, as she invented the first recognizable glass aquarium to aid her observations and experiments on the species, she died in 1971 aged 76.
5. The Car Heater
Whatttt, that's impressive though, anyways
Margaret A. Wilcox invented the car heater in 1893 which was her first invention in this time which was now modernized and has been used since then until now, Wilcox designed a system to channel heat from an automobile's engine to warm the cab of the car.

DeleteWhat a great article! I love reading stories like this so I can show my daughter all the great things women have achieved over the years. There's a really cool book called Rebel Girls and I sometimes read it to her at night. There's some really inspiring stories in it from women pirates back in the 1600s to the incredible story of Malala Yousafzai and how she overcome being shot by the Taliban :) Thanks so much for sharing.

DeleteThis is awesome! I never knew these were made by women. It’s kind of sad we aren’t taught this in schools or through media but I’m glad I know now. I also shared this with my two daughters to remind them how amazing women are.

DeleteToo many women go unnoticed for their game changing contributions to the world we live in. It is a shame that so much innovation and greatness is relegated to the sidelines. Thank you for highlighting these incredible women as I hadn't heard of Margaret Wilcox or Jeanne Villepreux-Power before!

DeleteIt's so wild that women's abilities, skills and intelligence were downplayed for so many centuries when we are the creators of so many amazing inventions. So proud to be a woman and so proud of the women that came before us !

DeleteIt was so nice to read this, I only knew about the home security system by Marie Brown. It's crazy that these women aren't talked about that much, like the medical syringe is a big one and don't many persons didn't know woman invented it. Love this post, it gave the spotlight to such great inventors. Great post! xx
