The Little-Known Story Of Mary Kenner, The First Black American Woman To Earn Five Patents
Sidney Davidson modeled it for his daughters.
Mary Kenner modeled it, in her adult life, for anyone who knew her.
The specific nature of Mildred’s patent — for a game — is itself interesting.
Games are a form of design: they require understanding what creates engagement, what makes a set of rules fun rather than frustrating, what physical and cognitive elements need to be balanced to create an experience that people want to repeat.
The design intelligence that goes into a good game is real and significant, and it is the same practical design intelligence that characterized Mary Kenner’s product inventions.
