A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

While waiting in this lounge TV has programs of interest. How items are made, who invented etc. Did any of you know "a woman invented windshield wipers " ?? back in the 1920's probably before females were allowed to vote.

Did you know ?? I didn't !!!

Glad you are being entertained! And no, I didn't know.

Interesting, for sure.

Any news on the problem to the RV yet?

Chalk one up for us girls... any word on your rig yet?

On one of those shows, I also learned that a 16-year-old girl rode twice as far as Paul Revere in the dark to knock on doors and gather a militia to fight the British! She rode 40 miles in the rain and beat off a highwayman with a long stick! Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybil_Ludington

Got to give these women the credit they long have deserved.

Seeing all these farm equipments in KS reminds me that the international harvester was invented by a woman! I think she registered it under a fictitious name, a mans name, as she thought her invention would not be accepted as being from a woman. Lyn

She probably got tired of asking her husband to clean off the windshield, and/or hearing him complain about it!

Her husband probably made HER jump out in the rain to clear the windshield while he sat inside, warm and dry.
