Womenizing Men History Month

False Claims of "Inventions by Women" actually invented mostly by Men
There are plenty of things really invented by women, but these were not.

Claim Women "invented" things on their own	Reality They helped with a team of men
Hedy Lamarr "invented" the radio guidance system for torpedoes	Lamarr assisted her boy friend, inventor George Antheil who developed a radio guidance system using frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for Allied torpedoes in 1941. wikipedia.org/George_Antheil Hedy, an actress with no science degree, had no other patents. George was an inventor, composer, and gentleman for putting her name on his patent application to get a happy Hedy that night.
Rosalind Franklin "discovered" the Double Helix structure	s Rosalind worked (along with men) on the X-ray diffraction images of DNA.  Francis Crick, James Watson, and Maurice Wilkins shared the Nobel Prize in 1962 for the discover of the DNA double helix.
Lisa Meitner "discovered" Nuclear Fission	Meitner was part of the team (of men), including Otto Hahn who discovered and explained nuclear fission and foresaw its explosive potential.   She refused to work on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos, declaring,  "I will have nothing to do with a bomb!" https://www.atomicheritage.org/profile/lise-meitner https://filmsforthought.com/completed-films/the-path-to-nuclear-fission-the-story-of-lise-meitner-and-otto-hahn/
Margaret Knight "invented" the paper bag machine which is still the same design used today	In 1852, Francis Wolle, a schoolteacher, invented the first machine to mass-produce paper bags.[1] Wolle and his brother patented the machine and founded the Union Paper Bag Company in Bethlehem PA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Wolle 20 years later Margaret Knight moved to Springfield, Massachusetts in 1867 and was hired by the Columbia Paper Bag Company.  Her job was to think of  improvements.
Elizabeth Magie created Monopoly (the game)	Elizabeth played games and refined The Landlord's Game while her real estate owning husband Albert Wallace Phillips worked, supported her, and showed her how landlording works. Women could not get a bank account until 1960 nor a mortgage without a man's name until 1974.  The couple worked TOGETHER to refine and co-patent it in 1924. Charles Darrow further improved it and patented Monopoly in March 1935 Monopoly was mass manufactured and marketed by Parker Brothers (men): George, Charles, and Edward Parker.
Ada Lovelace was "the world's first computer programmer"	Charles Babbage, English mathematician is "the father of computers" and designed the Analytical Engine in 1836, and wrote the first algorithms and programs for it. 6 years later, in 1842 his friend and secretary Augusta "Ada" Byron Lovelace translated his notes, and added some thoughts about his programs. But she was obviously not the first, as some feminists claim.  Her Note G is a chart, not a computer program.  There were no computers to program until about 100 years later.
Tabitha Babbit	Samuel Miller patented the circular saw British Patent #1152 in 1777 (earlier than Tabitha in 1812). https://www.yorksaw.com/history-circular-saw/ http://www.edubilla.com/inventor/samuel-miller/ https://www.idesign.wiki/en/the-invention-of-circular-saw/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_saw

Piere was the primary scientist, yet shared the Nobel Prize with his wife Marie who took care of their daughters

"There are many more. But all of them had their collaboration go uncredited (which is not allowed in modern day science) or had their ideas stolen by men (even the men they collaborated went uncredited). Science has a large history of misogyny, that's why it seems like most of the inventions are done by men. The mind behind every invention and research is important as if their work didn't exist, then the world would be vastly different. "
