Ever heard the saying “It’s a man’s world� Clearly, the speaker had never met Amelia Earhart or Harriet Tubman. Those feisty females, and many more, rivaled their male counterparts in everything from computer programming to civil rights, and from world speed records to the invention of the chocolate chip cookie! Did you know that the first computer programmer was a woman? Countess Ada Lovelace (1842). Or that the inventor of the life raft, windshield wiper, and Kevlar were all female?
