Talk: Newcomen presents Ingenious Women by Deborah Jaffé

Since Amye Everard Ball became the first woman to be granted an English patent in 1637, hundreds have been awarded to women but rarely cited. These overlooked women navigated legislation and social assumption of their times, to ensure their patents were registered as their own. Referring to themselves as housewives, widows, inventors, scientists, nurses, electricians and engineers, their patents were wide ranging including for industrial machinery, dishwashers, lifesaving equipment, safety devices for train travel, underwear for bicycle riding, stab proof vests, and the teaching of geometry.
