Mothers of invention

Posted | 0 comments

I am a wife, a mother and a grandmother; and spent my whole working life as a nurse. I was a "ban the bomber" in London in the sixties and a part of the back to earth movement of the seventies here on Vancouver Island. These experiences have made me who I am. I am me. I am an Island Woman. In retirement I now enjoy even more being an Island Woman.

Like most people, I get articles sent to my Facebook acccount that cover a whole range of topics. Some are warm, some are funny, some are weird and others I wish people would not send to me. But every now and then, I receive one that really tweaks my interest. This link on women inventors was one that really surprised me. It showed amazing things that had been invented by women; mainly American women. I had no idea that that so many things we take for granted in our daily lives were the result of the ingenuity of amazing women. It also had me wondering “What about Canadian women?”, and from there “What about Vancouver Island women?”.

I need your help. I would like to know of any inventions that were created by Island women. Please send any information that you have to me at Island Woman.

With your help we would like to create a list and feature more amazing Island women on our website.
