Program Description

Description

Throughout history, women have often been sidelined, either due to peer pressure, lack of opportunity, or flat-out sexism. Many times, women who invented items — from disposable diapers to Monopoly — weren’t given credit for their work. Women are responsible for early sketches of the computer, the discovery of the DNA double helix and even splitting the atom. But men claimed those advancements as their own. This program explores 12 things most people don’t know were invented by women.
