Girls Think of Everything: Stories of Ingenious Inventions by Women Hardcover - 2000
by Catherine Thimmesh; Text by (Art/Photo Books) Melissa Sweet
Summary
In kitchens and living rooms, in garages and labs and basements, even in converted chicken coops, women and girls have invented ingenious innovations that have made our lives simpler and better. Their creations are some of the most enduring (the windshield wiper) and best loved (the chocolate chip cookie). What inspired these women, and just how did they turn their ideas into realities?
First line
The horses were tired; they were hungry.
