Pioneering Women Who Helped Make Our Lives Better

Because of Josephine Cochrane, we can relax after dinner. She invented the dishwashing machine in 1886.

Tabitha Babbitt helped us build the American dream. She invented the circular saw in 1813.

Without Florence Parpart, tonight's dinner couldn't be tomorrow's lunch. She invented the electric refrigerator in 1914.

Mary Anderson helped us see through the storm. She developed the first windshield wipers in 1903.

Thanks to Hedy Lamarr, we can stay connected without wires. She helped pioneer secure wireless communication in 1942.

For those who have made our lives better, we honor you this Women's History Month.
