In Secrets of Successful Women Inventors, Edith highlights some of the greatest top-notch successful women inventors and reputable service providers, all eager to share their stories and advice. In her easy-going, personable style, Edith has gleaned the 'cream of the crop' from each of these impressive women. It’s a gift to anyone who’s ever had a winning idea but nowhere to go and no roadmap to birth their vision.” —Barbara Corcoran, “Shark” on ABC’s hit TV show Shark Tank and founder of the Corcoran Group Until recently, history has tended to highlight male inventors—but why not women inventors as well? And where are the women inventors of color? Why have so many of these women not found their rightful places in history? Thankfully, over the last few decades—with increasing opportunities to shatter the “glass ceiling”—women have begun to achieve equal footing with men in careers and in salaries. Women worldwide have also made great gains with their inventions! While in the past, many of their inventions have been largely related to the improvement of household and child care items, things have changed. With women achieving influential positions in business, scientific research, and government—women’s creative innovations are limitless. In her new book, Secrets of Successful Women Inventors, Edith G. Tolchin reveals the real-life stories of over twenty successful modern-day women inventors—stories that describe their hard work, frequent struggles, and relentless dedication to their ideas. Ms. Tolchin presents a look behind the scenes at their respective journeys—from their inventions first being sketched on napkins to the creation of multimillion-dollar companies—and offers sound advice to future inventors from several accomplished invention service providers. She also includes brief snippets of information on women inventors throughout history. While this book is about women who had dreams and made them come true, it can also serve as a blueprint for any woman looking to turn her own ideas into reality.

Book Synopsis Women of Invention by : Charlotte Montague
Download or read book Women of Invention written by Charlotte Montague and published by Chartwell Books. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hypatia was a Greek mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who invented the hydrometer in about 400 AD. Described as a charismatic teacher, she was seen as an evil symbol of the pagan science of learning and she was eventually murdered by Christian zealots. For many women in years gone by, the invention process was fraught with danger and difficulty. Not only did they face the hardship and obstacles of inventing, they also had to contend with the sexism and gender discrimination of a male world that believed women had nothing to contribute. Scientific women came to the fore with momentous innovations which were impossible for men to ignore. During World War Two, Austrian actress Hedy Lamarr became a pioneer in wireless communications, developing a “Secret Communications System.” More recently, 20-year-old Ann Makosinski has invented the ingenious Hollow Flashlight which converts radiant body heat into electricity. Meanwhile other women continued inventing in the domestic sphere with Miracle Mops, long-lasting lipsticks, and magic knickers. In every walk of twenty-first century life women have been challenging themselves (and men) to shape the way we live. Some of the incredible innovators featured include Myra Juliet Farrell, Sally Fox, Rosalind Franklin, Helen Murray, Anna Pavlova, Mária Telkes, Giuliana Tesoro, Halldis Aalvik Thune, Ann Tsukamoto, Margaret A. Wilcox, Ada Lovelace, and many more. The 150 remarkable women in this book show all too clearly that not only can invention no longer be described as a male dominated domain but that a woman’s inspiration and ingenuity will probably be driving the life-changing ideas of tomorrow’s world.

Book Synopsis American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D by : Eric S. Hintz
Download or read book American Independent Inventors in an Era of Corporate R&D written by Eric S. Hintz and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How America's individual inventors persisted alongside corporate R&D labs as an important source of inventions. During the nineteenth century, heroic individual inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell created entirely new industries while achieving widespread fame. However, by 1927, a New York Times editorial suggested that teams of corporate scientists at General Electric, AT&T, and DuPont had replaced the solitary "garret inventor" as the wellspring of invention. But these inventors never disappeared. In this book, Eric Hintz argues that lesser-known inventors such as Chester Carlson (Xerox photocopier), Samuel Ruben (Duracell batteries), and Earl Tupper (Tupperware) continued to develop important technologies throughout the twentieth century. Moreover, Hintz explains how independent inventors gradually fell from public view as corporate brands increasingly became associated with high-tech innovation. Focusing on the years from 1890 to 1950, Hintz documents how American independent inventors competed (and sometimes partnered) with their corporate rivals, adopted a variety of flexible commercialization strategies, established a series of short-lived professional groups, lobbied for fairer patent laws, and mobilized for two world wars. After 1950, the experiences of independent inventors generally mirrored the patterns of their predecessors, and they continued to be overshadowed during corporate R&D's postwar golden age. The independents enjoyed a resurgence, however, at the turn of the twenty-first century, as Apple's Steve Jobs and Shark Tank's Lori Greiner heralded a new generation of heroic inventor-entrepreneurs. By recovering the stories of a group once considered extinct, Hintz shows that independent inventors have long been—and remain—an important source of new technologies.
Book Synopsis The Global Gender Gap in Innovation and Creativity by : World Intellectual Property Organization
Download or read book The Global Gender Gap in Innovation and Creativity written by World Intellectual Property Organization and published by WIPO. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report analyzes women’s participation in international patent applications between 1999 and 2020 and finds that women are involved in only 23% of all applications, representing 13% of all inventors listed. Women’s participation in patenting varies across regions, sectors, and industries, with higher representation in biotechnology, food chemistry, and pharmaceuticals, and lower in mechanical engineering. Women inventors are more prevalent in academia than in the private sector, and typically work in mostly-male teams or alone. Achieving gender parity will require significant effort, with an estimated target year of 2061 based on current trends.

Download or read book GENDER ISSUES written by AMITA SAXENA and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2019-08-21 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender inequality and discrimination not only in India, all over world is a multifaceted issue that has been related to both men and women. Some people think gender equality indices place men at a disadvantage, when India's population is surveyed, women are found to be at disadvantage in several ways. These trends are disturbing, as a natural prediction would be that with growth comes education and prosperity the dowry system, involving a cash or in-kind payment from the bride’s family to the grooms at the time of marriage, is another institution that disempowered women. It reinforces the inferior status of Indian women and puts them at risk of violence in their marital households. The normalization of intra-household violence is a huge detriment to the welfare of women. Crimes against women have doubled. Gender inequality extends across various facets of society. Political participation is a key factor to rectify this situation. Gender bias extends to electoral politics and their representative also. The book deals with Population Stabilizing Measure, Juvenile Delinquency, Gender Based Violence, Women Fish Retailers, Gender Inequality, Geriatric Issues in Women and their Management in India, Women’s Attitude And The Environment, The Journey of Indian Women across ages, Gender Discrimination in the Workplace, Violence Against Women: dowry system, Women’s Role in Developing Technology: Increasing Productivity, Improving Lives, Gender Budgeting, Trafficking of women for Sexual Exploitation and Women In Politics.

Download or read book The Right Sisters written by Julia Rhodes and published by . This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Right Sisters" reveals the creative mind at work in a context never before examined so intimately-the journeys taken by ten modern women inventors. Their stories are compelling and they are instructive. When Julia Rhodes created the prototype for her first invention, she knew nothing about manufacturing and marketing. She nevertheless moved ahead wholeheartedly. She took risks and made mistakes. She dealt with the complexities of applying for a patent and navigating the corporate world of business. She made friends and garnered the invaluable support of women. "The Right Sisters" is about the women inventors she met. Rhodes has now combined forces with Patricia Harrelson to record the stories of these 21st Century women inventors. The book is rich with imagination, intelligence, and the uniquely feminine perspective that led these women to succeed in a field typically dominated by men. Ultimately each story reveals the generous nature of women as they turn dreams into tangible products. An inventor and founder of KleenSlate Concepts, Julia Rhodes longed for female role models as she introduced her first product and began to grow her company. She now offers mentorship and guidance to every woman with an inventive idea by sharing her experience along with the stories of nine other women inventors in "The Right Sisters." -Susan Solovic, author The Girls Guide to Building a Million Dollar Business Understanding the strategies necessary to develop a successful product, Julia Rhodes effectively worked with Office Depot to get her educational products to market. Drawing on this experience, she worked with Patricia Harrelson to write an innovative guide for women who are embarking on the inventor/entrepreneurial journey. -Shari Francis Manager of Vendor Development Office Depot Julia Rhodes is a motivational speaker, inventor, and entrepreneur. Patricia Harrelson is a freelance writer and author of "Between Two Women: Conversations About Love and Relationship."
