The technology behind Wi Fi, Bluetooth, computer programming, Kevlar, and even modern DNA research carries the fingerprints of women most history classes barely mentioned.
Hedy Lamarr helped develop frequency hopping technology in 1942, which later became part of wireless communication systems used worldwide today. Ada Lovelace wrote what is considered the first computer algorithm in the 1840s, decades before modern computers even existed. Marie Curie discovered polonium and radium and became the first person ever to win two Nobel Prizes in different sciences. Rosalind Franklin’s X ray images were critical to revealing the structure of DNA, while Grace Hopper helped create one of the first computer compilers that changed how humans communicate with machines. Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar in 1971, the lightweight material now used in protective gear, and Josephine Cochran patented one of the first practical dishwashers in 1886. Even everyday comforts like hand cranked ice cream makers trace back to inventors like Nancy Johnson.
Many of the inventions people rely on every day were shaped by women whose names were often left out of the spotlight.

Every #Manager is different; every #Assistant is different; some Assistants work with more than one Manager. There can't be one solution...
That is why our courses are discussion based so attendees can find potential, viable solutions to their specific challenges.
