She invented.

She matters.

The story of Mary Beatrice Davidson Kenner is the story of an inventor who deserved better than she received, and who gave more than the world acknowledged.

That story is worth knowing, worth telling, and worth keeping.

She invented things.

They were good inventions.

The world was slow to acknowledge them and slow to acknowledge her.

That slowness has a name, and a cause, and consequences that extended far beyond the specific commercial failures she experienced.
