Event Description

Learn about the brilliant women whose innovations changed the world but were often ignored or credited to others.

Experience a compelling portrayal of motion study pioneer Lillian Moller Gilbreth, who revolutionized efficiency in the workplace and home. While many recognize her from "Cheaper by the Dozen," few know about her contributions to industrial engineering.

Explore the fascinating stories of female inventors like Margaret Knight, known as the "female Edison," and Hollywood star Hedy Lamarr, whose groundbreaking work led to modern wireless technology. These women made lasting impacts, yet history often overlooks their achievements.
