Torpedo Jamming, Rocket Mapping & Other Innovators in History

 
Praise your moms, praise your sisters, praise your daughters, praise your queens
Praise all the women in your life who have helped you achieved your dreams
Honor those women who have contributed to society but never got the glory
It’s March, it’s women’s history month so learn about them and tell their stories
Like
Did you know that Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr was also an inventor?
The actress of the silver screen had patents and other inventions that still apply
During the war she came up with the idea of frequency jamming for torpedoes
And that technology eventually evolved in what we today call Wi-Fi
Or
What about Katherine Johnson and her amazing mathematical skills?
Her manual calculations were important contributions to spaceflight
But in the earlier days women of color were never properly recognized
So now we praise her for her achievements that finally came to light

There are so many women with achievements around the world
Like Joan of Arc and Boudica, they were leaders in their militaries
There were artists like Frida, writers like Woolf, poets like Angelou
Prime Ministers and Presidents like Thatcher, Merkel and Gandhi

They’ve been doctors, lawyers, humanitarians, activists and suffragists
They’ve been bosses, pioneers in their fields and captains of industry
So let’s encourage our daughters and granddaughters and future generations
They too can be badasses and innovators just like the many women in history
