-Virginia Woolf

It’s sad, but true. Women are still being overshadowed by men, and probably always will be within my lifetime. There have been some great discoveries by women that have been integral in today’s society. Some of the inventions I’m thankful for: dishwashers, windshield wipers, Kevlar, disposable diapers, rotary engines, the syringe and white out! Until the late 1800’s women in America were not allowed to have a patent under their own name. Thankfully, in America, women are now able to be recognized for their accomplishments. Women rock and I’m proud to be a woman!
