They have already said it before, being a woman is not easy, much less in a world in which for many years we have fought for rights of all kinds. It is for this reason that honoring OkChicas since we admire and respect women, today we want to pay a small tribute to 15 women inventors who changed the world and very few people know it.
And it is not to detract from the men who contributed to science, history, technology, etc., it is just that this time we want you to meet the women who devised different innovations in their field and who have not been as recognized as they should be. Below we leave you the list.
