Ms. Inventor

Ann Lee, founder of the Shakers, is one of the first notable women inventors - a true 'mother of invention'. She lived a rough but devoted life. She invented many tools, devices, and items (such as flat brooms, clothes pins, rocking chairs, an early 'computer', and possibly the circular saw).
