In 1809, Mary Dixon Kies received the first U. S. patent issued to a woman. Kies, a Connecticut native, invented a process for weaving straw with silk or thread. First Lady Dolley Madison praised her for boosting the nations hat industry. Unfortunately, the patent file was destroyed in the great Patent Office fire in 1836. Until about 1840, only 20 other patents were issued to women. The inventions related to apparel, tools, cook stoves, and fire places. In the history of remarkable inventions there are many notable women too.

The device is the thickness of three credit cards and made from recycled paper products. This is a real cell phone with 60 minutes of calling time and a hands free attachment.
