Throughout history, women have often been sidelined, often through lack of opportunity or out-right sexism. And many times, women who invented items — from disposable diapers to Monopoly — weren't given credit for their work. Women are responsible for early sketches of the computer, the discovery of the DNA double helix, and even fire escapes. But often men claimed those advancements as their own--or the woman was simply unacknowledged. This program explores 21 things most people don’t know were invented or discovered by women, including Shirley Jackson (pictured).
