Who would have thought that a woman could invent a simple yet vital thing and save us from poor weather conditions? Well, I sure didn’t! It was in the year 1903 that Mary Anderson noticed drivers stopping to clear snow and ice off their windshields. She then came up with the windshield wiper -- an arm with a rubber blade that could be activated without getting out of your car. She even applied for a patent in 1904, and it was issued in 1905.
6. Ice Cream Maker
Well, ice cream and women have a long-running affair. From moping over failed relationships to getting over PMS, ice cream is the best antidote to all our woes. Now, we don’t have to work our asses off to make ice cream and then relish it. But back then it was Nancy Johnson who invented an ice cream maker. In 1843, Nancy patented a design that made ice cream, which is still used to the current day! We don’t know what else to say other than thank you, Nancy Johnson. Thank you very much!
