The five women in this book are all amazing matriarchs because they’re mothers of invention. You may not have heard of these tech pioneers, but their incredible discoveries changed the world.

Hedy Lamarr, once only recognized for her movie-star talent and glamor, is now acknowledged as the mother of WiFi and Bluetooth technology.

Adele Goldstine wrote the very first complete manual for an electronic computer, laying the foundations for modern electronic computing.

Katherine Johnson used her mathematical genius to calculate the trajectories of spaceships, ensuring the safety and success of NASA’s space missions to the Moon and beyond.

Margaret Hamilton was the groundbreaking computer programmer whose expertise and forward-thinking made the very first Moon landing possible.

Karen Sparck Jones was the innovative language theorist and programmer who came up with the theories that led to computers being able to understand human language.

In the mid-twentieth century, these female creators weren’t widely acknowledged. Now, you can read about their lives and discoveries in Mothers of Invention, the first in a series of books about Amazing Matriarchs!
