People don’t realize all the things that were invented by women. Here are just a few!
1. The Car Heater
Margaret A. Wilcox, born in 1838, was one of the first women mechanical engineers. She is notable for inventing the first automobile heater in 1893, and the first combined clothes and dishwasher machine.
2. Monopoly
This popular board game was designed by Elizabeth Magie in 1904, originally called the Landlord’s Game. The purpose of this game was to expose the injustices of unchecked capitalism. Her game was ripped off by Charles Darrow who sold it to Parker Brothers 30 years later. However, Parker Brothers later paid Elizabeth $500 for her game. Gee, thanks!
3. The Fire Escape
