Greatest Women Inventors

Have you ever wondered who the greatest women inventors throughout the history are?

TWO WOMEN WERE PIONEERS OF SOFTWARE:

The world’s first computer programmer was Lady Ada Byron Lovelace (1815-1852), daughter of the poet Lord Byron, and collaborator with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine. Today, a major programming language bears the name Ada.

Mathematician Grace Hopper (1906-1992) designed in 1952 the first compiler, the system that enables the computer to “read” its own programs from keyed instructions. The invention of the compiler was a sensational breakthrough, that opened up a new era of limitless horizons for automatic programming. Grace Hopper was Rear-Admiral of the US Navy.
SHE HELD MORE THAN 125 US PATENTS:
Giuliana Tesoro (born in 1921), Ph.D., worked in many areas of chemistry for industrial companies and was Research Professor, Polymer Chemistry, Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, New York, USA. It is said in the technical community that in the field of fiber and textile chemistry, Giuliana Tesoro is one of the most prolific scientists in the world! Her improvements and innovations include chemical compounds and processes designed to prevent static accumulation, to obtain flame-resistant fibers and permanent press properties.
NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE, 1977:
Rosalyn Yalow (born in 1921), Ph.D., is the inventor of radioimmunoassay (RIA), a powerful tool for determining any minute substance of biological interest in the urine and blood.
