This Women's day, you must have seen the world celebrate different aspects of being a woman. Women have been oppressed since ages and have been deemed less smarter then men. This is obviously not true as many women have changed the way we live while suffering from baseless discrimination. Let's take a look at some interesting inventors who where way ahead of their times:

1. Ruth Handler: Barbie (1959)

The dedication, innovation and hardwork of this entrepreneur resulted in children playing with a doll which represented the ideas of smart, diverse and independent women. Her creations are a cult classic which resulted in a great movie.

2. Mary Anderson: Windshield wipers (1903)

What seems now a mundane necessity which we take for granted, the windshield was invented by a waiting passenger in the New York winter who saw her driver stop the car frequently to clear the snow on the windshield.

3. Asima Chatterjee: Drug discovery (1944)

When the majority of our population was uneducated and discoveries in science were dominated by the western world, Dr. Chatterjee was the first Indian woman to receive a PhD and she discovered anti-epileptic and anti-malarial drugs

4. Marie Curie: Radioactivity (1903 and 1911)

No list would be complete without the mention of the first woman to win Nobel prize and only woman to win it in two different fields. Her discoveries are just to treat cancer till date. Unfortunately, her life was cut short due to her own discoveries (exposure to radioactivity for a long period of time)
