Yes, but it was a man that invented the X-ray glasses.
I fell for those darned things. The x-ray glasses were advertised in the Johnson ads on the back of a lot of comic books. That was back in the '30's and I was a mere stripling thinking anything printed on glossy paper had to be true.
Unfortunately, I also fell for "instrument to throw your voice". Money was scarce back in those days and I wasted some.
