Description
“Edith G. Tolchin has spent her entire career
working with inventors. In Secrets of Successful Women Inventors, Edith
highlights some of the greatest top-notch successful women inventors and
reputable service providers, all eager to share their stories and advice. In
her easy-going, personable style, Edith has gleaned the 'cream of the crop' from each of these impressive women. It’s a gift to anyone who’s ever had a
winning idea but nowhere to go and no roadmap to birth their vision.” —Barbara Corcoran, “Shark” on ABC’s hit TV
show Shark Tank and founder of the
Corcoran Group
Throughout history,
books have highlighted male inventors—but
why not women inventors? And where
are the women inventors of color? Why have so many of these women not found
their rightful places in history? Often, without choice, women have stayed home
to take care of their children. Over the last few decades, though—with increased
educational opportunities, access to daycare facilities, and continued attempts
to shatter the “glass ceiling”—women have begun to achieve equal footing with
men in careers and in salaries. With such advancement so readily on the rise,
women have made great gains with creative ideas, their worthwhile plans . . .
and with these inventions! While many of their inventions to date have been
largely related to the improvement of household and child care items—with STEM
in schools and in corporations—women’s ideas and innovations remain limitless.
For more than twenty-five
years, Edith G. Tolchin has worked with and interviewed hundreds of inventors for her longtime column in Inventors
Digest. In her new book Secrets of Successful Women Inventors, Ms. Tolchin reveals the
real-life stories of twenty successful, modern-day women inventors—stories that
describe the hard work, frequent struggles, and indomitable spirit with which
they have never given up on their ideas. For many, it will present a revealing
look at these women’s respective journeys—from their ideas first being sketched
on napkins to the creation of multimillion-dollar companies. In addition, Ms.
Tolchin includes sound advice and guidance from several accomplished invention
service providers to further help future inventors reach their fullest
potential, as well as snippets of women inventors in history.
