About Female Inventors

Female Inventors is a weekly podcast that uncovers the remarkable, and often overlooked, stories of the women behind some of the world’s most important inventions. From pioneering scientists to unsung engineers, these trailblazers created the ideas, tools, and breakthroughs that shaped the modern world - even when history forgot their names.

Because the greatest minds in history weren’t all men.

Josephine Cochrane: The Woman Who Revolutionized Dishwashing

In the late 19th century, one woman’s determination to protect her cherished china sparked an invention that would change kitchens forever. Josephine Cochrane, born in 1839, envisioned a machine that could do what no servant or household gadget could: wash dishes quickly, safely, and without damage. With remarkable ingenuity and no formal engineering background, she built a design that earned her a U.S. patent in 1886 and recognition as one of the few female inventors of her era. Her dishwasher became more than a convenience—it was a breakthrough in domestic technology and a lasting testament to innovation born from persistence and necessity. Learn more about your ad choices.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
