This document provides an extensive overview of women's contributions to invention and innovation throughout history, from the Middle Ages to the Digital Age. It highlights numerous female inventors and their significant breakthroughs, ranging from early astronomical instruments and agricultural processes to foundational computing algorithms, life-saving medical treatments, and modern digital technologies like Wi-Fi. The text also examines the persistent structural barriers that have historically obscured women's ingenuity, such as legal disenfranchisement and the "Matilda Effect," where female scientists' work is misattributed or overlooked. Ultimately, the source argues for a rewriting of the traditional narrative of innovation to include these often-hidden contributions and acknowledge the resilience required by women to innovate in a world that frequently denied their roles.
