We'll probably never know how many women inventors there were. That's because in the early years of the United States, a woman could not get a patent in her own name. A patent is considered a kind of property, and until the late 1800s laws forbade women in most states from owning property or entering into legal agreements in their own names. Instead, a woman's property would be in the name of her father or husband.
For example, many people believe that Sybilla Masters was the first American woman inventor. In 1712 she developed a new corn mill, but was denied a patent because she was a woman. Three years later the patent was filed successfully in her husband's name.

Temple Grandin, autistic lady, who became an Engineer who developed the cattle shutes..cattle flow mechanisms....at cattle facilities and they are used all over the world.
Or any woman??? Women have the upper hand because today's economy is decreasing guy-type jobs via automation and off-shoring to China and Asia. While office jobs (that women adore) are steady or increasing and this includes zillion of make work gov't jobs. The EPA for example which is headed up by a woman and before her another woman... The EPA is always in a war to eliminate guy type jobs. Production jobs in oil, energy, logging and manufacturing

“Or as Fred Reed puts it: “Can you name one thing with a moving part that was invented by a feminist?”
