RE: Extra Credit Questions
Superb ... and you must have done it without googling. Yes , a patent. The first woman.
Its International Women's Day (8th March here). https://www.invent.org/inductees/mary-di...nnecticut. Mary Kies "Her patent, issued May 5, 1809, was for a process for weaving straw with silk that was adopted by the New England hat-making industry" ( I see it says "silk" but the issue of "straw hat" seems most relevant) 1809 ... Lincoln's BirthDate. And of course he is the only President to have a patent. “The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor, Is king o' men for a' that” Robert Burns |
