Here is a list of things that women have invented (some that we even still use today):

• "Apgar score" for assesssing the health of infants
• windshield wipers
• a way of processing film
• non-reflecting glass
• fireproof building material
• the world's first antifungal antibiotic
• dishwasher
• maritime signal flares
• the cpr mannequin
• radium and x-rays
• the leukemia-fighting drug 6-mercaptopurine
• drugs that facilitated kidney transplants and other drugs for the treatment of cancer and leukemia
• pertroleum refining technology
• naturally coloured cotton
• white-out
• x-rays to find the structural layouts of atoms and to discover the overall molecular shape of over 100 molecules including: penicillin, vitamin B-12, vitamin D and insulin
• computerized telephone switching system
• a material five times stronger than steel called Kevlar.

And even way more than that. Medical advances, scientific advances, amazing engineers, designers, doctors, inventors, film-makers, writers, artists, huminitarians, politicians, soldiers, and more, can be women. There is nothing a woman is not capable of doing just because she is a woman.

Just wanted to reblog this list too.  Also, the hydrometer.  And the home diabetes test.
