Inspirierende Frauen
Die Geschichte von 5 Frauen und ihren unglaublichen Erfindungen
Their amazing stories …and the men who stole all the credit.
Margaret Ritter
Lieben Sie Shopping? Nun, dann solltest du wissen, dass du Margaret Knight all diese Einkaufstüten zu verdanken hast. Früher hatten Papiertüten die Form von Briefumschlägen. Das heißt, bis Margaret Knight entschied, dass sie eine Tasche mit flachem Boden haben wollte, und sie neu gestaltete. Als ihr klar wurde, dass das manuelle Falten von Beuteln auf diese Weise schwierig war, erfand sie die allererste Maschine zur Herstellung von Papiertüten.
Nachdem sie die Maschine und die Beutel hergestellt hatte, gab sie einem Freund und Kollegen namens Charles Anan eine Demonstration. Prompt stahl er ihre Ideen und Pläne und meldete ein Patent an, wobei er vorgab, der Erfinder zu sein. Sie fand es heraus, als sie versuchte, ihr eigenes Patent anzumelden, und abgelehnt wurde. Sie verklagte ihn und gewann (ihre jahrelangen Notizen halfen dabei) und gründete die erste Firma zur Herstellung von Papiertüten.
Margaret „arbeitet im Alter von 70 Jahren zwanzig Stunden am Tag an ihrer 89. Erfindung“, berichtete die New York Times am 19. Oktober 1913. Wie inspirierend!

Maria Beasley is a life saver. Thanks to you, you saved a lot of lives!
Karla Alvarez
I will let my daughter read this. This should be at school too. A lot of people doesn’t have any idea who these women are, and men are underestimating women. This is a proof that women are not that easy.
Kelly Osborne
Informative article. Keep posting articles like this because we learn a lot from this. Some of these can’t be taught at school.

Women of Ancient Mesopotamia?? They are the inventors of the beer?!! Hail to them!!
Jodi Thornton
Those men should’ve known better! They took a big piece of those women’s lives! Let’s all be aware on who invented these amazing things. Thank you to those women who shared their ideas to the world. They could have improved their lives and lived it easy if those men didn’t steal their inventions.
Marsha Reed
There should be more originality in people. They need to stop stealing ideas.
Maggie Lawrence
I didn’t know this until today. Honesty is the best policy.
Lydia Erickson
At least we all know now that those ideas weren’t from those men.
Patricia Mann
They just oppressed these women because of their lack in decency!
Maxine Hanson
It’s so hard to be original nowadays as other people may have had that idea already. But then directly stealing other people’s ideas whilst fully aware that you are about to steal them is a different story.?
Catherine Lewis
Those men just ranaway with the money those women deserved. Sometimes it’s not even just because of money, it’s the act itself that’s disappointing!
Bernadette Garza
Wow, that’s a lame move. Women are so creative that men had to steal their ideas.
Pam Reyes
Isn’t it easier to be nice? And just acknowledge good deeds and not steal people’s ideas? I don’t get it.
Michele Adkins
Their ideas were awesome in general, which is why those men felt the need to steal their inventions.
Tara Norman
Now we know what they did and that’s even funnier.
Myra Sullivan
Informative stuff! Some of us need to be aware that this still happens nowadays.
Terri Ferguson
It does and it’s really sad that we keep on going back to the roots of evil. Just sad.
