Throughout history, women have dedicated themselves to removing the obstacles that have been encountered or removed. These barriers included barriers to technology and science. Many women who worked to remove barriers, on the other hand, undersigned technological inventions and research beyond being simple. With their success, they have contributed to the transfer of many technological knowledge until today. Well, have you heard their name before?
It’s possible you haven’t heard of it. But now you can learn. We have brought together 10 women who have changed technology, and therefore the world, throughout history, especially for International Women’s Day.
HERE ARE 10 WOMEN THAT TOUCHED TECHNOLOGY AND CHANGE THE WORLD
BOTH FILM STAR AND INVENTOR: HEDY LAMARR
Known for her iconic roles in films of the 1930s and 1940s, Hedy Lamarr was not only an actress but also an inventor. She improved the aerodynamics of Howard Hughes planes by designing a new wing shape she. She even pioneered what we would later call Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. She also broke new ground with the awards she received.
KATSUKO SARUHASHI
Katsuko made groundbreaking discoveries and research that drew attention to the impact of nuclear fallout and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the oceans. At first, there was controversy for his research, as the fallout was thought to be evenly distributed in the ocean. The US Atomic Energy Commission brought him to the US to repeat the experiments and compare methods. This research was groundbreaking. In fact, it was so groundbreaking that it became a global standard. It also contributed to the cessation of nuclear tests in the Pacific.
KATHLEEN BOOTH
Kathleen Booth, a computer scientist, wrote the world’s first translator language and designed a translator and autocode for the first computer systems at Birkbeck College, University of London. The breakthroughs made by Kathleen and her team have made many computer technology phenomena possible. He helped design three different machines, ARC, SEC, and APE(X)C. Kathleen’s research and pioneering work changed the world of technology forever.
YVONNE BRILL
Canadian-American Yvonne Brill was an outstanding and award-winning rocket and jet propulsion engineer. His work has not only contributed to the reliability of systems used in space exploration. Brill, whose career began in mathematics and chemistry before moving on to rocket science, was the first woman to enter the field in the 1940s. His most famous invention was the “hydrazine resistojet” propulsion system. This has now become an industry standard for keeping satellites in orbit.
ANNIE EASLEY
Annie Easley was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and rocket scientist who made modern space flight possible. The Centaur rocket with the technology he developed was the first of its kind and used liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to launch rockets into space. This development, still in use today, powered the exploration of the Moon, Mars and Saturn. In addition to his more than 30-year scientific career, Easley is recognized for his contributions to society. She helped African Americans pass the voting test in her hometown of Alabama.
