Female Inventors
by Female inventors are not as popular as their male counterparts. Their popularity is overshadowed by male inventors where even children can easily remember their names, like Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham bell, Louis Pasteur, Michael Faraday, Benjamin Franklin, so on and so forth. Out of respect for women and for my mother who gave birth to my five siblings, I have decided to research women inventors.
Dr. Virginia Apgar’s specialization was in anesthesia and childbirth. She invented the Newborn Scoring System Device, called the Apgar score, in 1949. This device assessed the health of newborns. Dr Virginia Apgar died in 1974.
This article is to give credit and recognition that these great women deserve in any manner, for they are just the few women inventors who greatly contributed to our advancement in life, technology, field of medicine and fashion.

Your article was very informative! I’m a bit disappointed to say that I knew none of those things were invented by women–and they’re such everyday things!
There are a few grammatical errors, I found myself stopping to reread a few things.

Great piece I learnt a lot and I like your comments about what they invented and how they thought of it.
I think there is a typo on inventor 2 ‘Her invention saves millions of life’. Found it funny how people had to peer out there side window before her.

Bravo! Great article, even a couple of ladies I’d not heard of! I’d heard of the Apgar score, but not that it was invented by a woman, and was under the impression that the brassier was a invented in France for older men.

I really enjoyed this article. I always wonder about how many women are overlooked with their brilliance..
One thing, though. I thought that the windshield wiper was invented by a man, and Ford stole his invention?
Maybe I’m wrong.
