Sheela Na Gig Episode 9: Margaret Knight

The Sheela Na Gig Podcast celebrates women in history whose strength, talent, and perseverance went largely (or completely) unrecognized or perhaps someone you don't yet know about, but should! We are dedicated to celebrating women—one per episode—who we lovingly & reverently call “our Sheelas. Margaret Eloise Knight has been called “the most famous 19th-century woman inventor but chances are, her name doesn’t stick out in your memory. Among her inventions, she is most remembered for inventing the machine that made flat-bottomed paper bags. She received dozens of patents in different fields over her lifetime and, in her day, she became a symbol for women’s empowerment! Please listen! We’d LOVE to hear your thoughts!! www.sheelanagigpodcast.com
