The Industrial Revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries saw a period of technological, historical, and even social advancements. Men like James Hargreaves and Eli Whitney worked to make life easier for the working class, inventing machines like the spinning jenny and the cotton gin. But men werenât the only luminaries of the Industrial Revolution: women of all ages from the joined in the revolution to further advance society.
Margaret Elizabeth Knight brought paper bags to the world, and Elizabeth Magieâs interest in politics and economics gave us the much beloved game of Monopoly. And what would we do without Tabitha Babbittâs circular saw or Josephine Cochranâs dishwasher? In todayâs modern world, we often take important inventions like these for granted, but with their female inventors, weâd be living vastly different lives.
A part of the Hidden in History series, âThe Untold Stories of Women During the Industrial Revolutionâ shares the stories of women who should be remembered for their remarkable talents, ingenious inventions, and hard work, but have been previously overshadowed and forgotten to history.
