SHThe manosphere loves to claim the world was built by men.
But history tells a very different story.
Women have been inventing, engineering and shaping the modern world for centuries, even when they weren’t allowed in universities, laboratories or boardrooms.
Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar, the material used in bulletproof vests that has saved countless lives.
Mary Anderson invented the windscreen wiper, something every driver relies on.
Marie Curie pioneered research into radioactivity that led to modern cancer treatments.
Ada Lovelace wrote the world’s first computer algorithm, long before modern computers existed.
Eileen Gray helped shape modern architecture and design.
And they are only a few examples.
Today, hundreds of thousands of patents worldwide include female inventors, and that number continues to grow.
For centuries women created, designed and discovered incredible things, often without recognition, funding or credit.
The problem isn’t that women didn’t build things.
The problem is that history didn’t always write their names down.
Women didn’t suddenly become capable.
People just started paying attention.
