Just to clarify things,if women did like how some men say (that women must stay in the kitchen) we probably wouldn't enjoy half of our everyday usages because they wouldn't have been invented. So here is a list of things that were invented by women:
1• Computer software - Grace hopper
After joining the US Navy during the Second World War, Rear Admiral Grace Hopper was assigned to work on a new computer, called the Mark 1 It wasn't long before she was at the forefront of computer programming in the 1950s.She was behind the compiler, which could translate instructions into code that computers can read, making programming quicker and ultimately revolutionising how computers worked.
2• Windscreen wiper - Mary Anderson
On a winter's day of 1903, Mary Anderson was visiting New York City when she noticed that her driver was forced to open his window, just to the clear the snow from his windscreen.Every time the window was open, the passengers in the car got colder.Anderson started drawing her solution of a rubber blade that could be moved from inside the car, and in 1903 was awarded a patent for her device.
3• Dishwasher - Josephine Cochrane
A frequent entertainer, Cochrane wanted a machine that would wash her dishes faster than her servants, and be less likely to break them. Her machine, which involved a motor turning a wheel inside a copper boiler, was the first automatic dishwasher to use water pressure.
4• Klevar - Stephanie Kwolek
This chemist invented the lightweight fibre used in bullet-proof vests and body armour.
Since her discovery in 1965, the material, which is five times stronger than steel, has saved lives and is used by millions every day.
5• Retractable dog leash - Mary Delaney
New York City dog owner Mary A. Delaney patented the first retractable leading device in 1908. It attached to the collar, keeping pooches under control, while giving them some freedom to roam. Incidentally, someone named R.C. O'Connor patented the first child harness 11 years later. Coincidence? Maybe.
6• The circular saw - Tabitha Babbitt
A weaver named Tabitha Babbitt was the first to suggest that lumber workers use a circular saw instead of the two-man pit saw that only cut when pulled forward. She made a prototype and attached it to her spinning wheel in 1813. Babbitt's Shaker community didn't approve of filing a patent, but they took full advantage of the invention.
7• The foot pedal trash can - Lillian Glibreth
Lillian Gilbreth improved existing inventions with small, but ingenious, tweaks. In the early 1900s, she designed the shelves inside refrigerator doors, made the can opener easier to use, and tidied up cleaning with a foot pedal trash can. Gilbreth is most famous for her pioneering work in efficiency management and ergonomics with her husband, Frank. Two of their 12 children, Frank Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth, humorously wrote about their home/work collaborations in the book
8• Submarine telescope and lamp
It's difficult to find any in-depth information about early inventor Sarah Mather. Her combination telescope and lamp for submarines, patented in 1845, speaks for itself.
9• Solar houses - Maris Telkes
Biophysicist Maria Telkes's place was in the house—the very first 100 percent solar house. In 1947, the Hungarian scientist invented the thermoelectric power generator to provide heat for Dover House, a wedge-shaped structure she conceived with architect Eleanor Raymond. Telkes used Glauber's salt, the sodium salt of sulfuric acid, to store heat in preparation for sunless days. Dover House survived nearly three Massachusetts winters before the system failed.
