This is only a sampling of the many inventions American women have made. There was a time when only men could file a patent, so who knows how many women inventors went unreported. But the known list is also too long to include everyone here, so I randomly chose those I found interesting. I believe all of the inventions listed below changed the world as we know it and left a permanent mark, in big and small ways. I'll let you be the judge.
A - Alphabet Blocks
B - Barbie Doll
C - Chocolate Chip Cookies
D - Disposable Diapers
E - Engine Muffler
F - Fire Escape
G - Globes
H - Home Security System
I - Invisible Glass
J - Jerky
K - Kevlar
L - Life Raft
M - Monopoly
N - Nystatin
O - Optical Analysis System
P - Paper Bags
Q - Q-tips
R - Rolling Pin
S - Spread Spectrum Technology
T - Telephone Switching System
U - Unknown Inventors
V - Vacuum Canning
W - Windshield Wipers
X -X-rays on Wheels
Y - Yellow Mustard Powder
Z - Zucchini Bread
