Inventor Beulah Louise Henry's unstoppable rise to becoming 'Lady Edison'
With 49 patents and over 100 inventions, Henry built an empire catering to women and children. Beulah Louise Henry invented everything from ice cream makers to radio dolls--despite a world that didn't take her seriously. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Beulah Louise Henry was just nine years old when she came up with her first invention in 1896, a device that allowed a man to tip his hat without ever putting down his newspaper. By her death in 1973, at the age of 85, she'd come up with so many more--a doll with eyes that changed color with the press of a button, a sewing machine without a bobbin (a threaded spool that slowed down work because it had to be frequently refilled), a clock designed to help kids learn to tell time, and others--that the press even dubbed Henry "Lady Edison."
